Operatives of the Joint Task Force are
detaining two professionals, a medical doctor and a lawyer, allegedly
for their roles in the prevailing violence in the area.
The authorities of the Defence Headquarters are silent on the issues that culminated in the arrest of the doctor and the lawyer.
It was gathered that while the doctor
was arrested in Maiduguri, Borno State, the lawyer is said to be a
prominent defender of the ideology and activities of the insurgents in
Potiskum, Yobe’s largest city.
