THANK GOD! Police Intercept 31 Boko Haram Suspects in Lagos

       EAGLE eye detectives from the Lagos State Police Command yesterday saved the state from bitter taste of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, when they intercepted 31 of them at the state entrance.

A security source told The Moment that the suspects who were loaded in a lorry claimed, through an interpreter, they were from Niger Republic.

It was gathered that the suspects who came into the state through Lagos- Ibadan Expressway were arrested at 4.30 p.m. at Julius Berger bus stop, without valid documents permitting them to enter into the country.

'The police detectives from Ketu police division who were on patrol noticed the large number of people more than ordinary and stopped the driver of the lorry for enquiry,' he said.

According to the source, the police found no legal document to back up entry into the country of the suspects whose explanation that they were coming into Lagos in search of jobs was not convincing.

'We immediately suspected them to be members of Boko Haram who always look for excuse to settle down before they start their destructive activities,' the source added.

It was also gathered that the suspects have been transferred to the state command of Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) where they are being detained for further interrogation.

The Moment reliably gathered that the suspects who looked unkempt were stark illiterates and could not give account of themselves but spoke through an English interpreter.

The state police spokesman, Jaiyeoba Joseph confirmed the story, stating that the suspects have been transferred to the Lagos State command of the Nigerian Immigration Service for their deportation.

The Moment recalls that the latest arrest of suspected members of Boko Haram in Lagos was the second of such .

On September 20, 2011, 22 suspects of the dreaded Islamic sect were tracked down by the detectives attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RSS) when they sneaked into the state at about 6p.m.

The suspects who were Nigerians were later released from police custody after convincing the authorities that they were mere Islamic preachers who did not use force in propagating the religion.
