The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu, made this known to newsmen in Lokoja on Tuesday.
Ojukwu said that the suspects were arrested at the popular Boko Haram Junction at Angwa Tiv in Obajana village, a suburb of Lokoja.
He said the suspects were picked up from their various hideouts on September 19.
Ojukwu said the police action was triggered by a gun attack on a police patrol vehicle in Obajana area by some of the suspects on September 4, saying a police inspector was killed during the attack.
He said the junction had served as haven for criminal elements that had been killing and maiming innocent people for years, disclosing that dangerous weapons and drugs were found in their possession.
The commissioner said that the suspects would be charged to court very soon.
