Officials of the Adamwa State Police Command on Monday said it arrested some suspected members of the Boko Haram terrorists group in Internally Displaced Persons Camp in Yola.

ASP Michael Haa, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, who disclosed this to Punch, said the suspects were among those that recently unleashed terror on Michika, Bazza, Madagali, Gulak and other neighbouring communities in the Northern part of the state.

 “Yes we have people all over, whenever we see suspicious movement, we pick them for questioning” Haa said.

The command’s spokesman who declines to disclose the number of those arrested said: “as at the moment, I can’t tell you their number, because we are still screening them to establish the reality of their presence there.”

However, the legal occupants of the camps are people that were displaced by the incessant attacks carried out by Boko Haram members in the troubled northern communities of Michika, Madagali, Mubi North and Mubi South Local Government areas of Adamawa State as well as those who also reportedly fled their houses in Gwoza, Borno State, where the sect declared an Islamic caliphate.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters had recorded victory in its operations in the north against Boko Haram members, as it announced that members of the terrorists  group have started to surrendering voluntarily in Konduga town, Konduga LGA of Borno State.

It would be recalled that the Nigerian military reportedly repelled several attacks and killed scores of insurgents in the course of the operations in the northern part of the country, while the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, on 21, 2014, explained what truly brought about the advent of Boko Haram in the country.
