Some suspected members of
the Boko Haram sect, who were recently arrested in Minna, the Niger
State capital, by the police in connection with two bomb
factories in Maitumbi and Tunga in Bosso and Chanchaga Local Government Areas
of the state, have confessed to the killing of policemen in the
state.
Mrs Nsirim made the disclosure
in an interactive session with the management staff of the state Ministry of
Livestock/Fisheries, led by its commissioner, Dr Isah Yahaya Vatsa,
during her familiarisation tour of the ministry.
She further disclosed that the
suspects had since been transferred from the Force headquarters in
Abuja.
“Our decision not to mention
the exact number of the hoodlums so far arrested in
connection with the bomb factories and not to parade them before newsmen or
exhibit the dangerous items recovered from the scence of crime is hinged on the
security implications. We are also still in search of a vital information as
regards the criminal activities of the suspects in the state prior to
their arrest,” she said.
Nsirim further stated that the
recent donation of 50 patrol vans installed with communications gadgets by the
Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu-led administration in the state had been
enhancing the performance of the command.
