Six Suspected Boko Haram Members Arrested In Lagos by TANTUMERGO007(m): 8:32am On Jul 11, 2016 |
Lagos— Six suspected members of the Boko Haram sect were
weekend apprehended by a Civilian Joint Task Force at
different locations in Lagos.
The suspects, who all confessed to be indigenes of Borno
State, disclosed that they fled Bama, Baga and Konduga local
government council areas of Borno State, following the
offensive of military operatives against insurgents in the
state.
They gave their identities as Ibrahim Ali, Abubakar Ahmed,
Babagana Blam Ali, Goigoi Kamsalem, Ibrahim Mohammed
and Adams.
Briefing journalists on how they were arrested, Head of the
civilian Joint Task Force, the Mai- Kanuribe of Lagos and
Seriki Hausawa of Ijora Kingdom, Alhaji Mustapha
Mohammed, revealed that Ibrahim Ali and Babagana Blam
Ali, who hail from Bama and Konduga local government areas
respectively, were arrested at Isheri-Ojodu Berger, while
Goigoi Kamsalem, Ibrahim Mohammed both from Bama and
Abubakar Ahmed of Baga council areas, were apprehended at
a hideout in Victoria Island.
The sixth suspect, Adam according to him, was arrested close
to a church in Festac Town.
Mustapha hinted that his group was spread across 57 local
government areas in Lagos and Ogun states and had been in
operation since five years, with the aim of nipping activities of
Boko Haram sect in both states in the bud.
According to him, his group had made several arrests in the
past, with the suspects handed over to Department of State
Service, DSS, the Police with some transferred to Maiduguri,
Bornu State, saying that a patrol van was donated to his
group by the DSS, to enhance its operation.
Mustapha informed that arrests were made based on
intelligence.
He said “One of their leaders that was hiding at a church in
FESTAC town was arrested and handed over to security
agents. You know we are from Borno State where these
people also hail from and we know their communities. Our
people back home do monitor them, and once they leave
Maiduguri, we would be alerted so that we can be on the
lookout.
“Once they arrive any community in Lagos, our members are
always on ground to fish them out base on intelligence report
and once they are arrested, we hand them over to security
agencies for further investigation and prosecution”, the
traditional head of the Kanuris in Lagos explained.
The six suspects arrested according to him, were moved to
Borno State yesterday morning before the arrival of
journalists, hinting that their movement was based on the
directive of security operatives. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/six-suspected-boko-haram-members-arrested-lagos/ Cc: lalasticlala mynd44 |
