The Nigerian army said it has arrested Maje Lawan, a wanted Boko Haram suspect, in Banki, Borno state.
Spokesman, Texas Chukwu, said the suspect is number 96 on the wanted list published by the army.
Chukwu said Lawan was apprehended after he infiltrated an internally displaced persons camp in the area.
He said preliminary investigation is ongoing and the suspect will be handed over to the appropriate authority for further action.
