yuletide season beckons the need to be more secuirity conscious in Lagos has again been brought to the fore. Apart from armed robbery and other criminality, it also seem Boko Haram are also targeting Lagos for security breach.
Yesterday, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division, Major General Isidore Edet revealed that several Boko Haram members fleeing the battlefield in Borno State have been arrested in Lagos. The GOC spoke to newsmen shortly after decorating 12 newly promoted officers attached to the division.
General Edet said the arrested Boko Haram members were among those fleeing the battlefield in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States and were fleeing down South to continue their nefarious activities.
He said presently, investigations had commenced into the activities of each Boko Haram member and that they were undergoing interrogation to fish out other members of the group.
It will be recalled that on October 24, the Department of State Service (DSS) said it arrested 45 suspected members of Boko Haram over an alleged plot to attack Dolphin Estate in Ikoyi, Lagos.
