At least 320 suspected Boko Haram insurgents were allegedly arrested, yesterday, by the Rivers State Police Command.
It has been gathered that they were in 20 buses when they were arrested at the boundary between Rivers and Imo states.
According to some information the suspects were coming Jigawa State when they were apprehended.
At press time the arrested people were being quizzed by the police at
the state headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department.
According to a security source, after searching the suspects for arms, the police later asked them to make statements.
The state Police Commissioner, Mr Joseph Mbu, refused to speak on the issue until investigation was concluded.
"It is a top security issue. I don’t know who gave you the
information and I will not want to ask. But there can be no comment for
now from the state Police Command until we finish investigation. I will
make no comment," he said.
Some persons, who spoke in Hausa, had formed groups in front of the state CID’s office discussing the development.
According to them, the suspects were in Port Harcourt for business.
"They sell carrots and do cobbling jobs in Port Harcourt. They are not
Boko Haram members," one of them said.
