Abubakar said he was punished because his decision to renounce his membership of the group and embrace peace.
“I had told a friend, Hassan Dan-Guduma, that I was going to surrender as the movement had no meaning to me anymore. “Hassan Dan-Guduma initially bought my idea but later betrayed me. Shortly after our discussion, he went and came back with three others whom I am sure he must have told them about our plan to surrender.
“They said I was planing to exposed them to the Nigerian Government, so they did all this to me. ”After they chopped off my right hand and left leg, they threw me into a culvert where I was left struggling, until soldiers came and rescued me.”All I can say is that all we had been told by Boko Haram leaders were lies and misleading. I never joined them to kill anyone,” he said.
Major-General Irabor said Abubakar was still undergoing interrogation.
“You can see what they did to one of their own because he decided to quit,” said Irabor.
