Soldiers have arrested 17 people at a popular shopping complex in Yola, Adamawa State. Force Public Relations Officer, Capt Jafaru Nuhu said the arrests were part of a routine security operation of the military in the state.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the armed soldiers stormed the market at 12:30pm and started arresting marked people, including men of the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF), who are helping the military in their operations against Boko Haram. “When the soldiers stormed the market, they started searching for the people they wanted to arrest as if they were marked.” A trader said.
Another trader explained that the market was shut down for an hour as a result of the anxiety generated by the operations of the military. He said the suspects have been released.
