US Marines have arrived in Nigeria to help with the fight
against terrorism after Boko Haram took their war of terror to another level by
abducting 234 pupils from Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in Borno
State .
They have since swung into action in the battle against the
insurgents and one of the results of this , is the arrest of two members of the
dreaded group.
According to Major General Chris Olukolade,
Nigeria's director of defence in¬formation, two suspected Boko Haram members
were arrested at Any¬ibe in Logo Local Gov¬ernment Area of Benue State. He
added that the duo, made up of a teenager and an elderly man, were arrested
during a cordon-and-search operation and found to be in possession of firearms.
Weapons found in their possession included two
rifles, three locally fabricated pistols and 61 rounds of special ammunition.
Apparently, the arms were found in the possession of the teenager he is
currently undergoing interrogation in custody.
