Commander, Four Special Forces Command, Doma, Major General Gadzama Ali paraded the suspect on Wednesday.
According to Gadzama, seventy six suspected members of the notorious militia group are currently in custody of security operatives.

Gadzama said Fachii was arrested during an operation in Agbi village in Katsina Ala Local Government Area of Benue state.
