There was confusion in Lagos yesterday as men of the State Security
Services, SSS, and operatives of the Operation Mesa (OP Mesa), a joint
armed forces and police security unit, arrested two suspected members of
the Boko Haram Islamic sect with explosives at Ijora Badia area of
Lagos state.
One of the suspects is from the North while other is a Chadian. Both were whisked away to Abuja by the SSS.
Newsmen gathered that the arrested suspects had packed an unspecified number of explosives in bags, which were hidden in the ceiling of the house in which they were arrested. A resident, who did not want his name mentioned, said: “Some SSS men and policemen came to our area early this morning and recovered some bombs. Those who are close to the house said that the bombs were packed in some bags and kept in the ceiling.”
