The suspects were apprehended while trying to board a bus at a motor park in the Borno state capital, according to The Guardian.

“These men who claimed to be travelling to the south are Boko Haram suspects, because their identities matched those on the list released by the military on Saturday, including the sect’s tattoo on their arms and backs,” CJTF member, Modu Bukar said.

Bukar said further that the suspects had been handed over to the military for further questioning.
