There was tension in Ondo town of Ondo State, yesterday, as Police detectives reportedly
intercepted a truck loaded with about 150 persons suspected to be
members of the Boko Haram sect.
Reports had it that the suspects have been taken to the State Police Command, where they are being interrogated.
Items recovered
from the suspects include 18 locally made guns, 2 jack knives, 22
cutlasses as well as several flash lights.
However, the State Police Command has told the people of the state not to
panic as they are on top of the situation, adding that investigations
were on to verify the identity and mission of the suspects.
According to reports, detectives from the
Funbi-Fagun Divisional Police Station in Ondo Town intercepted the truck
with registration number KANO NSR 97 XZ, loaded with the suspects, who
are from the northern part of the country.
The suspects were said to be coming from Kebbi State and
heading towards Ore town in Odigbo Local Government area of the state
before they were intercepted by the police at Lipakala junction in Ondo
town.
It was gathered further that following a tip off, the Divisional
Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the Funbi Fagun Police station, Mr
Olu-Ojo Ogunmoyole and men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad from the
Police headquarters in Akure swung into action and went after the truck
conveying the suspects.
The suspects, after being apprehended were detained at the Police station before being taken to Akure.
Speaking with newsmen, one of the suspects, Abdulahi Sheriff denied that they are members of the sect.
Abdulahi, who said that they were “farmers coming from Birni-Kebbi to
farm in Ore town”, noted that they left their homes owing to the
prolonged dry season in their state which has affected their farming
activities.
The DPO of Funbi Fagun Police Station, Ogunmoyole told newsmen that
the suspects were intercepted during a surveillance operation carried
out by the anti-robbery squad attached to the Police division.
He, however, advised people of the community to remain calm and go about their lawful businesses.
When contacted, the State Police spokesman, Mr Femi Joseph denied
that the 150 suspects arrested in Ondo are members of the Boko Haram.
Reacting to the arrest, Joseph said investigation so far conducted
showed that they are farmers traveling to Ore town for farming
activities.
On the weapons found in their possession, the police spokesman said some of the apprehended men were hunters.
