The Boko Haram commander and his group had attacked a military convoy that was on patrol between Jos and Bauchi.
At the end of the encounter, the Ford bus used by the terrorists was captured, along with 8 primed Improvised Explosive Devices, rifles, pistols and about 70 rounds of ammunition.
Husaini is believed to have led the attack on the headquarters of the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Abuja in November 2012.
