sublimes: The Hausa's from the north are more of a Virus to Nigeria.

supereagle: 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?”

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

ochukoccna: 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

your father in the south is more of a donkey!! stvpid armed robber

Ijeoma Obasi: @ochu, wise one. this really will not help the situation. Ijora landlords will eventually create more problems for the people and the govt with this development. it now means that thousands will be displaced which will increase nuisance in streets of lagos. the main thing is just for Lagosians and every Nigerian to remain vigilant, security conscious and try to avoid crowdy places @ this critical momment.

chiover: Good news. Let them go to borno

Ola17: The 2 landlords named in the post are surely Muslims. They don't mind evicting their brothers in faith for the safety of the community. This appears to be the only solution at hand now no matter how crude it may appear. In Yorubaland, humanity comes before religion.

Kwam 1, Obesere , Asewo to re mecca, Baba suwe, b igbos too abi. It's d end of the month, menstral pain things dey make u think upside down.

Desola:

Exactly!

I seriously doubt the presence or if at all, a plot by boko haram to bomb Lagos. These ibos are just doing what they are widely known for which is propaganda.

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

sublimes: sorry if you were hurt by the truth.

sublimes: You are right but a better suggestion is to deport all those Aboki's without a legitimate business back to katsina, borno or kano state. It would really save us a lot of headache seriously.

Desola:

Exactly!

mc~evans:
Im smelling civil war ooo

Truckpusher: 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.

Ijeoma Obasi: @sublimes, yes repatriation of all illegal migrants is a viable option. but how can we know the legitimate ones among them?

agriboom:

truth? soon the country will break, only then will you know the truth

ifihearam:

You mean the yoruba muslims abi?

playcharles: All Muslim are Boko Haram, VP Architect Namandi Sambo is a muslim, which means he is a bokoharam,.... All Niger/Delta are militant, President Jonathan is from Niger/Delta, which means he is a militant,... All Lagosian are Kidnapper, Gov. Fashola is a Lagosian, which means he is a Kidnapper,.... All those who set up Bokoharam are from Northern Nigeria, Buhari and Babangida are from the North, They should be held responsible.

Chanchit:
u jst feel like puting SW in the mix.

lekkie073:
all of them whether legit or illegit shd go!

devour129: this I what av been saying, TO YOUR TENT OH ISRAEL . All none northerner leave the north let me see how they will survive alone

Vision2017:

Since you know they are been denied their inalienable rights, why don't you provide shelter for them in your own abode and see what becomes of you and your household
