The police command in Plateau state reportedly arrested three persons suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect on Tuesday, July 14, around Terminus area in Jos, the state capital.
The three suspects were said to be moving suspiciously around the market area and the traders alerted the police officers stationed at the area, Daily Trust reports.
They were apprehended and taken to the C. Division around Masalacin Jumma’a street.
According to Mohammed Auwal, a vendor in the area, the traders noticed the suspicious movement of the suspects after they parked and came down from a tinted Honda Accord vehicle and then went in different directions.
Zakari Ya’u Adamu, chairman of shoe sellers at the market said: “We divided ourselves into groups and went after them. At the beginning, they were trying to resist our interrogation, but when they noticed that some youths were ready to attack them, they cooperated. One of them was found with five sim cards while the other was found with four.”

He explained that one of the suspects upon interrogation claimed to be an aide to the sacked chairman of Qua’an Pan local government area but when they got to the Terminus police station and they all wrote contradictory statements.
Adamu said the traders assigned youths to monitor people around the market following the renewed spate of attacks in the country.
Boko Haram has intensified its attacks especially in the Northern part of the country.
Yesterday, an attempt to attack Jos area (Jos South LGA), was averted. An office clerk, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that she had spotted a big envelope behind the door of her boss, with some electrical installations inside and she immediately alerted security agents.
On Sunday, an explosion rocked the ECWA church in Tudunwa, Angwan yashi, near the Federal Secretariat in Jos.
Due to the timely intervention of the security guard who spotted the planted bomb, there was no casualty recorded.
