BOKO HARAM MOVES TO LAGOS

Joint operatives from Department of State Security Service and the military have arrested a Chadian with explosives, arms and ammunition in Ijora Badiya on Lagos Mainland.

The operation and the arrest of the Chadiam with bombs sent shivers down the spines of residents of the area who were suspecting that the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram, may have finally arrived in Lagos.

Residents have long noted that a strange man had been making suspicious movements in the area. The suspect whose identity remains a secret for now, was alleged to have rented a mini-flat in the area since the past one month.

The man was said to have been making suspicious movements and after last Monday's multiple bombings of the Luxury Bus Park in Kano, residents of Badiya became afraid and reported him to the DSS.

The DSS was said to have mounted surveillance on the man and after confirming the fears of their informants, they contacted the military. When a search was conducted in the apartment, some explosives, two AK-47 rifles and some rounds of ammunition were recovered from him.

Efforts to reach the Director of Lagos State command of the DSS proved abortive, as he did not pick his call.
