The Lagos state Civilian Joint Task Force has confirmed the arrest of thousands of Boko haram insurgents in the state.
According to reports, the militants fled the northern part of the country, as they seek refuge in Lago state.
Confirming the update during an award ceremony in Lagos on Wednesday, April 16, a Commander of the force, Mr Kumar Sanda noted that thousands of the insurgents have been arrested so far.
He added that they were mostly arrested at trailer parks, quarries, markets, and other locations known to harbour non Lagosians.
He said;
“If I should mention the number of Boko Haram members we have arrested in Lagos State, people will not believe it. But we have arrested thousands.”
“The CJTF monitors trailer parks, and quarries, and checks truck pushers because we understand the channels through which they enter Lagos. Our people must remain vigilant. Not all Abokis are bad, but not all are good either. We are committed to keeping Lagos free from Boko Haram and banditry.”
“Boko Haram has no domain in Lagos State. The Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor is constantly in touch with us to ensure the people sleep with their eyes closed.”
Speaking on nationality, he further disclosed that many of these Boko haram manners are not from Nigeria, but only came into the country through the border to cause harm and mayhem.
Whenever you see a man from Borno State, you might feel scared because of Boko Haram,” he said. “But many of those you see are not truly Nigerians. That’s not to say there are no Nigerians among them.
“It’s a fact that Boko Haram originated in Borno State, and we monitor individuals from Borno across Lagos. We know when new arrivals come in because we track the truck routes. A person from Borno can identify others from his state; the same goes for indigenes of Kano and other states.”
