The Enugu state police command has faulted claims by the Department of State Security DSS that some Boko Haram members were arrested in Enugu state recently.
DSS had released a statement on Sunday August 30th, stating that it had arrested some frontline Boko Haram members in Lagos, Plateau, Gombe, Kano and Enugu state.
DSS in the statement said 12 Boko haram members were arrested in Lagos state while three were arrested in Enugu, Gombe and Kano.
However, spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, says no investigation nor arrest of any member of Boko haram sect has been carried out by the command
“There is no case of Boko Haram investigated by the command, neither was there any arrest by the command. Meanwhile, the command is relying on the already established proactive measures which have so far kept the state and its environs safe,” he told Punch
