Fear Grips Lagos Residents Following Arrest Of Two Suspected ISWAP Terrorists by treesun(op): 11:06am On Dec 23, 2025

Lagos residents are on edge after two suspected fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP I terrorists were arrested in Apapa, Lagos, a situation that has sent fears to the spine of residents.
It was gathered that the suspects, identified as Modu Gana and Ibrahim Dugge, were arrested on Sunday, December 21, by operatives of the State Security Service, SSS.

A security source familiar with the operation disclosed that the arrests were carried out in the Apapa area of Lagos at about 8:45 a.m.

The source confirmed that both men are currently in detention and undergoing interrogation.

Investigations revealed that the arrests followed intelligence reports indicating that the suspects had relocated from Nigeria’s conflict-hit North-east to Lagos.

Meanwhile, efforts to obtain official confirmation from the SSS were unsuccessful, as a representative of the agency’s media unit said the incident had not yet been formally communicated to them.

As of the time of filing this report, the purpose of the suspects’ presence in Lagos remains unclear.

There is also no immediate evidence suggesting plans to carry out attacks in the commercial hub.

Nairalanders, abeg make we no deceive ourselves. You think say na only two ISWAP fighters dey Lagos? Apapa is basically a headquarters for people whose 'state of origin' is unknown. They didn't just 'relocate'; they were invited by the porous borders and the fact that anyone can hide under a trailer or inside a container for weeks. The SSS is just catching the ones who forgot to pay their 'security subscription.' If you live in Lagos and you're just getting 'on edge' now, you've been sleeping on a bicycle. Welcome to the new normal.

It has always been obvious to the discerning that they would want to stage an attack in Lagos if only to prove that no where is beyond their reach.

Now that they have all been designated as terrorists, the capital punishment should be deployed on arrested bandits and kidnappers ASAP.

We have to be on guard and like they say: "If you see something, say something"

Did they run from the fire power of Soldiers or did they come to fight?

After destroying their place and killing innocent people, they may be seeking for safety.

Too late I tell you. The thing is, the Yorubas left who they are suppose to be fighting to fight people that are fostering progress in their land. Misplaced priority.

It will start from the west, then move to the SS but it will end there. The South East will rather die than to be conquered by those Fulani militias and imported terrorists. As for the North, the North is already conquered.

Could this be Karma? Well I know the disintegration of Nigeria will be the doing of it's current emergency Lovers not Igbos.
