     Soldiers have raided a suspected Boko Haram hideout in Barnawa Complex area of Kaduna metropolis and arrested 33 suspects, including a newspaper and suya vendors.

Daily Trust gathered that soldiers from 1 Mechanized Division of the Nigerian Army conducted the operation on Sunday following a directive from Abuja but residents said none of the suspects were Boko Haram members.

The soldiers, according to witness, arrived at the area around 10pm in about nine vehicles and started arresting everyone around, including passersby.

The eyewitness, who gave his name as Malam Babangida, said "the soldiers just came to the area without any warning or reason for arresting people. They started molesting people who were doing their lawful businesses and others who came here regularly to buy suya and other foods."

He said when he and some relatives of the arrested people went to 1 Division to enquire about the arrest; they were told that the order to arrest was from the army headquarters, Abuja as they were suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect.

Another witness said that the suspects were later brought by the army in hand cuffs and taken to their houses. He said the houses were photographed and the soldiers took suspects back to their barracks.

When contacted on his mobile phone, the Assistant Director, Army Public Relations in charge of 1 Division, Colonel Abubakar Edun, said he has been transferred from the division.

If you follow the link of the story, you'll realise that the source is Daily Trust. A northern Newspaper that promotes the Northern interest otherwise Boko-Haram may decide to come after their reporters like they've done in recent time. I guess that's why It's two-sided story. If you read the highlighted part of the story above, you'll notice the police take about the suspects.
