The Department of State Security Services (DSS), has announced the arrest of wanted Boko Haram members in some key locations in Lagos Mainland.
A statement released by a DSS official, Tony Opuiyo, today said the Service rounded up the terror group members in Lagos between July 8 and August 25.

The arrested Terrorists are believed to have participated in the carrying out attacks in the North before fleeing southwards as the heat from security agencies became unbearable.
Listing the suspects arrested in Lagos, the DSS revealed that;

1. Bakura Modu was arrested on July 20, 2015, at Kara, Isheri Berger, Ikeja LGA, Lagos State.
2. Mustapha Alli Jamneri arrested on July 24, 2015, at Gowon Estate, Egbeda, Alimosho LGA,
3. Abuyi Sherriff, arrested August 7, 2015, at Ebute-Metta, Lagos Mainland LGA,

7. Baba Alhaji and Abass Ibrahim, arrested earlier on the same day (10th August, 2015), at Alaba International Market, Alaba, Ojo LGA,

The DSS added that “the influx of Boko Haram members into Lagos State points to the determination of the sect to extend its nefarious terrorist activities to the State and in fact, other parts of the country. The arrest of these confessed terrorist elements has however helped in no small measure to avert devastating attacks in the area. However, the Service is making efforts to conclude its investigations and commence prosecution of the suspects.
“Drawing from the above, the DSS reiterates its avowed determination to work with other stakeholders in the fight against terror and other forms of criminality in our country. Citizens and residents are therefore called upon to rise to the occasion by volunteering useful information to the Service and relevant security agencies.”
