Nine of  the 33 suspects are from Korode, 5 from  Auma, 10 from Geargube, 4 from Kausautaya, 4 from Bulbul and 1 from Dolomi villages. Although some of the suspects claimed to be traders, they did not however deny buying and selling food items to the terrorists. Interrogation is still ongoing to further unravel the level of involvement of the suspects. 
 In a related  development, troops during clearance operations of Boko Haram hideouts, have discovered and successfully destroyed  Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by Boko Haram terrorists at Sandia village along Korode road.
