Intelligence operatives are on the trail of terrorists suspected to be based in over 20 locations in South-West states, SUNDAY PUNCH authoritatively reports.

Multiple security sources in Abuja and Lagos told our correspondents on Friday that intelligence agents had been deployed in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti states to locate the terror cells.

This is coming shortly after Thursday’s raid of a street in Ijora, Lagos, where a terror cell of the Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram, was uncovered.

Soldiers who stormed two houses in the community arrested five suspects and recovered bombs and AK-47 rifles.

Following the arrest of the suspects who were transferred to Abuja on Friday, security agents are on the trail of similar cells that are scattered in the South-West.

A highly-placed security source on Friday told SUNDAY PUNCH that the operation became imperative following intelligence reports and Thursday’s raid on hideouts in Ijora.

He said, “What happened in Lagos was [size=15pt]a tip of the iceberg[/size]. There are at least 20 other terror cells in locations across the South-West, particularly Lagos and Ogun states.

“Agents have been sent to areas suspected to be harbouring them, especially communities where there is an aggregation of aliens.”

SUNDAY PUNCH further gathered that the Federal Government had given a directive to the Defence Headquarters to give priority to all emergency calls or information by the Department of State Security in this regard.

Similarly, a top State Security Service official, who pleaded anonymity, said terrorists were moving to the South, following incessant raids on their hideouts in Borno, Yobe and other states in the core North by the Joint Task Force.

“In the last one year, many terrorists have been going southward because of the heat on them by the JTF in the North.

“The operation in Lagos was between the SSS and the Army. The Federal Government has instructed the soldiers to give our men a prompt response at all time, whenever we need them. More of such collaborative efforts will be seen in the coming weeks.”

so stop getting urself screwed.

^^^ but they are minor naw

2x

They should do a good job at combing s/w and discovering where these evil people are. It is really disturbing that bh boys have decided to leave the north to attack somewhere else. They are really bent on continuing the senseless killings. It will really be a fatal one if it happens in Lagos as no matter where or what time of the day they choose,the number of casualties cannot be over emphasised because of the population and God forbid such.

^^^ u still havent tell us the reason ur hero and awo bros said there is no cause for alarm cuz it just minor thing
