Boko Haram militants who allegedly snuck into Potiskum, Yobe state in preparation of an Eid attack have been arrested by the Nigerian military, PM News is reporting.

“We have in the last three days made 57 arrests of suspected Boko Haram terrorists who infiltrated Potiskum in preparation for planned massive attacks during the Eid celebrations,” the source said, craving anonymity. “They were arrested in different parts of the town and they were sent in advance, while weapons they were to use in the planned attacks were to be smuggled in later."

Last-minute changes had to be made to the venue for Eid prayers due to security concerns.
