Enugu Police Command faults DSS claims over B'Haram members arrested in the state

The Enugu State Police Command has faulted claims made by Department of State Services (DSS) in a statement released on Sunday, and signed by an official, Tony Opuiyo that some Boko Haram members were arrested in the state.

''There is no case of Boko Haram investigated by the command, neither was there any arrest by the command,'' spokesman of the State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu said on Monday.

According to Amaraizu, the police would continue to keep the state safe, relying on the already established proactive measures which has kept the state and its environs safe so far.

The states, DSS claimed they arrested 20 suspected Boko Haram commanders are Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Plateau and Gombe state.

According to the security agency, the suspects, who it said were arrested between July 8 and August 25, 2015, include the masterminds of the suicide attacks in Potiskum, Kano, Zaria and Jos.
