Many landlords in Ijora, Lagos may have decided to evict tenants of Northern extraction, following Thursday’s arrest of a Chadian and four other suspected terrorists in a raid by over 100 soldiers and secret service agents in the community.

During the raid on 24, Aromire Street in the densely populated community, the soldiers and secret service agents reportedly found an improvised explosive device, AK47 rifles, cartridges and daggers.

It was learnt that two persons were arrested at 24, Aromire Street and three others at a location in an adjacent street.

This created panic in the community, with many of the residents saying there might still be more suspects living among them.

During a visit to the area on Friday, Saturday PUNCH did not notice any security presence on Aromire Street, where the raid was conducted or surrounding streets.

Ijora noticeably has a high population of Nigeriens, Chadians and Northerners.

A landlord, Alhaji Ibrahim AbdulKareem, told our correspondent that one of his tenants, a Northerner, had been living in his house for two years.

“He has never caused trouble for me but how can I be sure he does not have a link with these people? I’m not sure I will let him finish the nine months he has left. My life and that of my family members are important to me,” he said.

Another landlord, Alhaji Bashiru Igbalaye, said, “No, no, nobody is going to hide a bomb in my house. I’m not even sure whether the one is my house is from Niger or Katsina. But he has to leave by the end of this month.

“We are all afraid right now. We have been living with two of the suspects probably for many years. Who knows how many are still here?”

Good news. Let them go to borno

Such precautionary move could turn out to be priceless ...

May be those arrested are armed robbers.

Dis landlords are funny though.well,not all hausa's are boko haram ooo.

Very funny story.

I bet those Hausa/Fulani/Niger/Chad tenants would have wondered why their landlords have been giving them one kain eye since the raid last week, and they'd have noticed them watching their every move like a hawk!

This is not good. After Hausas, who is the next target? This is what happens when you push ppl too far. The kindest and the most tolerable have limits too.

This is pouring petrol to quench glowing coals
Knee jerk reactions will only escalate this suitation
Who will render the services of the Northerners gave (if they gey to leave)?
Apply pressure to their balls and get them to cooperate rather than evicting 'em
My 2 cents

Its jest a matter of time before we get rid of those thieving criminals and kindappers as well

smh!! Are you from Jupiter He just raised a very important point and you are adding tribalism to your answer!! BTW,Who told you he is from the east??. Maybe if they leave, you and your family members will render the services which the hausa's were rendering before they left!!

That's stereotyping... There are many Northerners that are law abiding citizens of Nigeria... Many will be homeless

Not every Muslim is a member of Boko Haram, but all members of Boko Haram are Muslims...Not every member of Boko Haram is of Hausa extraction as reports in the past have shown some Yoruba members.

This move has little or no impact in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria...because the Yoruba members will still give them a hiding place.

Shut up

Northerners are still Nigerians and they have the right like every other Nigerian to live wherever they wish as long as they meet the basic requirements demanded by that society ,it is totally unfair and appalling that some elements that call themselves Nigerians are using the security problem in the North to discriminate and deny the Hausa people their rights as Nigerians.
