The Kano State Government said it had dispatched a delegation to Abia to secure the release of the state indigenes among the 486 persons arrested by security operatives recently.

Recall that about 486 persons suspected to be Boko Haram members were arrested recently in Abia by security operatives.

The state’s Commissioner for Information, Dr Danburan Abubabar, told News Agency Of Nigeria in Kano on Saturday that the delegation had since arrived in Abia and started discussion with the state government officials and security agents.

Abubakar said the delegation had been directed to also take care of the welfare of the indigenes among the detainees in Abia.
