Two suspected fighters of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) were arrested in Lagos State on Sunday, 21 December
The suspects—Modu Gana and Ibrahim Dugge—were apprehended by operatives of the State Security Services (SSS).
A security source with direct knowledge of the arrests told this newspaper that Messrs Gana and Dugge were arrested in Apapa, Lagos.
“They were arrested around 8:45 am on Sunday,” the source said, adding the suspects have been detained for interrogation.
The arrests followed intelligence that the suspects fled from the insurgency-ravaged North-east to Lagos.
When contacted, an official from the SSS’s media unit stated that the arrests had not been brought to their attention. Since redeploying the former spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the agency has adopted a covert media policy, saying this will help perform its intelligence functions effectively.
The suspects’ mission in Lagos was not clear as of press time. There are no indications, so far, that they were planning an attack in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital. However, experts say that ISWAP has been making efforts to expand beyond the North-east.
