Plain clothed security agents in their hundreds seized, Charles Okah, the younger brother to detained MEND leader, Henry Okah, in Apapa area of Lagos.

Charles Okah was arrested with some of his children according to family sources.

His brother, Henry Okah, who is currently detained by the South African police and undergoing trial for terror -related charges claimed in diary seized from him that Charles was faking his voice to negotiate with the Nigerian authorities in a "cease-fire" deal.

It is not clear if Charles was arrested over his brother's claims before South African magistrate or relating to the latest MEND threats which security sources said might have been traced to him.

Oh come on! So just cos it was in Henry's diary, they make an arrest? Did they try to do their own investigations and see if it was a valid claim?

If that's how they are going to roll, then they might as well arrest errbody Henry implicated in his journal, including President Goodluck.

Besides, since when do criminals (especially Nigerian ones) start keeping diaries?
