There
was heightened fear in parts of the South-East on Monday as news spread
that hundreds of persons suspected to be Boko Haram members were
arrested in Abia State.
The suspects, including eight women,
were said to have been arrested along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway
by soldiers attached to the 144 Battalion of the Nigerian Army, Asa in
the Ukwa West Local Government Area on Sunday.
Their arrest occurred some hours after
security operatives detonated improvised explosive devices planted on
the premises of a branch of the Living Faith World Bible Church (a.k.a.
Winners Chapel) in Owerri, Imo State.
