Clifford, a resident of the school said the suspects were arrested by a heavy team of operation puff adder officers,” we noticed some strange movement of plain clothed policemen and uniformed ones in the area.”

“The people in the area started running into their various homes to avoid being captured on the wrong side of the law. They proceeded to the school and we were shocked when they brought out people in handcuffs. We thought the school was deserted”.

It was however, gathered from senior security sources that a legal practitioner and headmaster of a school were among those arrested.

A source made it available that “the suspects locked themselves in one of the classrooms. When the Police arrived, they nearly turned back. But when they broke one of the classrooms, they saw the suspected IPOB members.”
