A military source said some of the sect men had boarded a truck in a
bid to leave the state but were arrested after the truck driver notified soldiers at a checkpoint that passengers in his
vehicle had threatened to kill him if he did not take them out of the
state.
A member of the local
volunteer group, Aliyu Mamza, said his group was also instrumental to
the arrest of the sect members. According to him, 46 BH men hid in the compartment of the truck meant for
transporting goats and were exposed after the driver of the truck
notified soldiers. Six other members were arrested at the Biu bus
station as they were about boarding a bus out of Borno.
