Speaking to newsmen in Maiduguri, yesterday, spokesman of the Division, Captain Aliyu Danja said those released had no link with terrorists, contrary to reports by a section of the media.
According to Danja, arrests were made at the airport by security operatives where six suspected Boko Haram sect members were handed over to men of the division, but after thorough interrogation, it was discovered that they were neither terrorists nor members of Boko Haram Islamic sect. He added that three of them had since been freed by the Division and reunited with their families.
Speaking on the arrest, a military source said, “we coordinated the interception and arrests of terror suspects at the airport last Monday,” pointing out that “the arrests were facilitated with the cooperation of airport authorities and National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCOM, which allowed security personnel to do their job thoroughly at the arrival hall of the airport at dawn.”
