JTF Arrests 10 Boko Haram Suspects

Suspects arrested in connection with Tuesday's attack in Maiduguri

The Joint Task Force (JTF) on “Operation Restore Order”in Borno, says 10 suspected members of the Boko Haram sect have been arrested after Tuesday's attack in Maiduguri.
It will be recalled that the Islamist sect attacked a JTF location in Ajilari, Maiduguri, injuring a soldier.
The JTF Field Commander, Col. Victor Ebhaleme, saidthat the suspects were arrested after a vigorous search by the military.
“They attacked the JTF location using guerrilla tactics, but we pursued them and cordoned off the entire place in search of the killers. We arrested 10 suspects at the end of the search.''
He said the suspects would be properly screened by the JTF to determine their involvement or otherwise in the attack.
