Security agents  on Wednesday  arrested  a luxury bus conveying over fifty suspected members of Boko Haram at Obollo Afor in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu state.

The suspects were  reportedly heading to different parts of south east and south-south  zones  of Nigeria but this could not be confirmed.

A team of national task force  on small arms, ammunitions, and light weapons apprehended them in the early hours of today.
But  when our reporter visited the state police headquarters this morning, the suspects were seen filing out of the intercepted bus with registration number, AKD816XG into the premises of the command.
It was learnt that the vehicle, belonging to a transport company (name withheld), was impounded during a stop and check exercise by the security men.

Asked to confirm the arrest of the suspects, the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, who had  previously paraded four criminals, nabbed for car snatching, declined comment, saying he was yet to get detailed information on the incident.
Although, he said  that he has ordered the task force team to transfer the suspects to the police headquarters in Enugu.

Items recovered  from the alleged insurgents include arms and  bags of  Army uniforms, amongst others.
