Soldiers
have raided a suspected Boko Haram hideout in Barnawa Complex area of
Kaduna metropolis and arrested 33 suspects, including a newspaper and
suya vendors.
Daily Trust gathered that soldiers from 1
Mechanized Division of the Nigerian Army conducted the operation on
Sunday following a directive from Abuja but residents said none of the
suspects were Boko Haram members.
The soldiers, according to
witness, arrived at the area around 10pm in about nine vehicles and
started arresting everyone around, including passersby.
The
eyewitness, who gave his name as Malam Babangida, said "the soldiers
just came to the area without any warning or reason for arresting
people. They started molesting people who were doing their lawful
businesses and others who came here regularly to buy suya and other
foods."
He said when he and some relatives of the arrested people
went to 1 Division to enquire about the arrest; they were told that the
order to arrest was from the army headquarters, Abuja as they were
suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect.
Another witness
said that the suspects were later brought by the army in hand cuffs and
taken to their houses. He said the houses were photographed and the
soldiers took suspects back to their barracks.
When contacted on
his mobile phone, the Assistant Director, Army Public Relations in
charge of 1 Division, Colonel Abubakar Edun, said he has been
transferred from the division.
