Yesterday I received an emergency alert from reliable security intelligence operatives in Abuja that Boko Haram suicide bombers have made their way into Lagos and targeting crowed areas like motor parks, shopping malls. local airports and public markets.
They are targeting the Easter holidays.

They are tracking their trails, but they have not been able to make arrests so far, because they have mixed with the teeming population of northerners in Lagos.

Boko and *mouth ashion*

Well, Lagosians should just be careful, security in Nigeria is on an all-time low. Getting to lagos is pretty easy, they load themselves with their cattle as usual and cause mayhem. The FG condemns as usual as life goes on, the lives lost will b added to statistics. Everyone should be vigilant. Naija don turn Pakistan and Iraq codedly.

reportnaija: Fear gripped many residents of Lagos on Thursday when news filtered in that troops numbering about 100 stormed terror suspects’ hideouts in Ijora, a densely populated part of the city.

The soldiers, who were assisted by men of the State Security Service, were believed to have acted on a tip-off. They were said to have arrived in the area around 7am in search of the suspects said to be members of an Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram.

It was learnt that their search yielded fruits when two persons were arrested at 24 Aromire Street and three others at a location in an adjacent street.

The soldiers then ransacked the building at Aromire Street where one of the arrested persons, Ibrahim Musa, occupies five rooms. A bomb kept in a cooler and hidden inside the ceiling of one of the rooms in Musa’s apartment was recovered by the soldiers.

Musa, who a security source described as an illegal alien from Chad, was said to be leader of the suspects.

Other items found were AK-47 rifles, cartridges and daggers.

The security source, who craved anonymity, added the raid was as a result of an investigation which began a month ago.

He said, “Security agents got information a month ago that there was a terrorist hideout in the Seven-Up area of Ijora. Although we were not sure if they were Boko Haram members or not, we did not want to take any chances so we decided to go and raid the place.

“It was discovered that the place was being run by a Chadian and arms were recovered during the raid, including AK-47 riffles. Investigations are ongoing and those who are found not culpable will be released.”

Musa’s neighbour, who craved anonymity, told one of our correspondents that they did not suspect he was a member of Boko Haram.

He said the suspect moved into the house less than three months ago.

“Musa rented his apartment about three months ago. However, since he moved in with his wife, who recently had a baby and a brother, none of them had any known form of livelihood. Musa and his brother, particularly were always going about with their laptops and expensive phones.

“Though he (Musa) was not working, he was usually the first to pay for anything in the house. It was when the soldiers came that we got to know what they truly are. It was in the course of beating him (Musa) that he told the soldiers where he hid the bomb and guns.”

Another resident of the area, who identified himself simply as Olu, said that when the suspects were being taken away by the soldiers “we did not know they were living here.”

“When soldiers were taking them away, we wondered if they were living in the neighbourhood. It was my neighbour, who told me he had seen Musa once or twice,” he said.

Olu said when the soldiers were going, they told them to be vigilant in the area, saying Boko Haram members had infiltrated the area, particularly the Hausa settlement.

When one of our correspondents met the Ojora of Ijora , Oba Fatai Adeyinka, he said he was shocked that Boko Haram members had infiltrated the area.

The spokesman for the Army 81 Division, Colonel Kingsley Umoh, confirmed the raid but said the army had been carrying out constant raids across the state in response to the rising level of insecurity in the country.

Umoh said over 36 people had been arrested recently. He however said he had yet to receive the details of Thursday’s operation.

Abeg o... is lagos no longer safe?

no,,start 2 dy run nw if u dy dere

Sola.ft:
Can we all calm down.

First of, I have Igbo & Hausa friends (wow!, all wonderful & caring people).

I just can't place it when we all tend to judge a whole set of people by actions of very few.

We all wrote like pensive people but we allowed the milieu-induced reaction in us to come out first. Please, we should respond to the issues & not be ethno-racial.

Way forward! that's all we need. If we can't directly help in solving problems then it's better we don't indirectly stir-up more problems.

It HURTS so much. All these problems are caused by some of our past leaders (across all levels). These are the seeds they've sown over the years & now it's sprouting-out.

U.A.E., Malaysia, Brazil, Singapore & Nigeria all started the development race roughly at same time with Nigeria having an edge in terms of Population & Natural endowments.
Tell me brothers, where are we as at present in this d-race?

Let's not fall for this TRAPs. Please! We are more advance in thoughts.

The future of this GREAT country lies in your hand, yes YOU. Be progressively positive in intention & deeds.

Thanks.

are you a politician ? don't just come back here and campaign for votes in 2015. we have heard sweeter lines . all na wash . lol
