EXCLUSIVE: Security agents arrest suspected bandits, wives, alleged informants after returning from Saudi Arabia

Security agents have apprehended an undisclosed number of suspected terrorists, their wives and informants immediately after they returned from Saudi Arabia, where they participated in the just concluded Hajj exercise, PREMIUM TIMES exclusively gathered.The alleged terrorists, who went to Saudia Arabia alongside other pilgrims from the state, were arrested at the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport in Sokoto last week.

According to him, the pilgrims were asked to sit on plastic chairs while they were screened again by the security agents.“Initially, I didn’t ask any questions, but when it was repeated when the second flight came, I made some contacts, and I was informed that the security was taking away suspected bandits, their wives and informants for questioning,” he said.

In another voice note message, he said another set of suspects was arrested among pilgrims from Tsafe. “We went to both the police and the brigade commander in Gusau, and they promised that they would take care of the situation. I’m personally happy with this development because, if anything, it means the security agents are serious about tackling this situation,” he said.The community leader said they later learnt that Mr Turji didn’t go, but “several of his boys” and informants went to perform their pilgrimage.
