The Federal Government, on the other hand, claimed that the attack was carried out by terrorists from the Islamic States of West Africa Province.
The Chief of Defence Staff confirmed the capture of the Owo attackers during a meeting with editors and media executives in Abuja on Tuesday.
Irabor stated that the suspects would be paraded after the investigation was completed.
“We have accomplished remarkable things since the last time we met,” he said. Let me draw your attention to the fact that, during the same time period, there have been heinous actions by men of the underworld that have harmed our collective well-being, namely the unfortunate train attack, the attack on the Kuje correctional center, and, as previously reported, the attack on the presidential convoy.
“Also, the Owo incident which was intended to bring man and women of the armed forces to present them in a form and shape that make it to look as if the nation is on a siege. We have arrested those behind the dastardly act in Owo.
“It was my intention to present them to the public, but because of the investigation still going on, I had to change my mind. I will like to say that in due course, the world will see them and others who are behind other daring attacks in the country.”
