Babagana, who is a high ranking Intelligence spy of the terrorist group, had escaped from military detention in Bama community two years ago.

An Intelligence Officer told Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert, that the notorious Boko Haram/ ISWAP member was arrested in January 2020 for carrying out espionage activities on troops in the general area of Bama and Banki.

The sources said few days after Babagana was taken to prison, he used charms to facilitate his jailbreak as well as evaded himself from being caught by the Nigerian troops.

Upon realising that he escaped by troops manning the prison, he was declared wanted with his pictures shared in every nooks and crannies of the city.
