According to Police spokesperson, Fred Enanga, following the incidents, security arrested 48 people but after screening, the number has since been reduced to 36 after some were released.
“Sometimes were arrest family members or friends to hep us lead to the wanted suspects. Some of those arrested helped us get those we wanted,”Enanga said.
The Police spokesperson said since their operations target agents, collaborators and terror operatives, a number of people suspected to have links to them are arrested but later released after screening and using them to get useful information leading to the arrest of the most wanted people.
“After screening, we are left with 36 suspects who have close links to the terror activities but our operations to arrest others are still ongoing.”
