320 persons suspected to be members of the violent Islamist sect, Boko Haram were arrested on Sunday early morning.
It was gathered that those suspects were actually been in a convoy of 17 buses when they were nabbed at about 5am on Sunday between the border of Imo and Rivers states. Young women were said to be among the arrested suspects.
The convoy of the suspected insurgents was said to have been led by a man identified as Bala Dambam and they were said to be coming from Jigawa State, in buses belonging to a transport firm owned by a former Inspector General of Police.
Mr. Joseph Mbu, the Police Commissioner of Rivers State confirmed the arrest of the suspects, said he would not make any comment until the end of police investigation into the matter.
“It is a top security issue. I don’t know how you got the information and I won’t ask you. But there cannot be any comment now from the Rivers State Police Command until we finish the investigation" Joseph Mbu said. He went further saying “The issue of Boko Haram is a very sensitive matter. It borders on national security. Investigation is on-going and the Rivers State Police Command will not give out any information until investigation is concluded".
Ouch! Finally these Terrorists have come down all the way from North to Rivers State. It is obvious they have circulated all over Nigeria, you need no ghost to tell you that. Its high time we get our two eyes on the ground and watch over the neighbourhood.
