The report quoted a neighbour of the politician as saying that soldiers and some security operatives stormed the house after an intelligence report that the top Boko Haram commander was with him.

The chairman and the Boko Haram commander are being detained in a military facility for investigation.

The report said the spokesperson of the police, Victor Isuku, could not be reached on phone, that a top security officer confirmed the incident.
