“They were arrested around 8:45 am on Sunday,” the source said, adding the suspects have been detained for interrogation.
It was gathered that 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 publication added.

“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.”
