The Nigerian army says it has arrested a second person on its list of the 100 most-wanted members of militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Ishaku Wardifen was apprehended by troops this morning at a checkpoint in Maiha town in north-eastern Adamawa State, the army said in a statement.
"Preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspected terrorist is a Cameroonian citizen," it added.
Visual matching with photographs on the poster of the wanted list released by the army last month "shows that he clearly resembles the suspect on serial number 22," the statement said.
Earlier, the army said id had arrested another suspect in the capital, Abuja while he was trying to board a flight to the main city, Lagos (see 09:01).
