The DSS revealed this following the arrest of about 20 suspected Boko 
Haram commanders in Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Plateau and Gombe states. 
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> According to the the Department of State Services (DSS) we now have Boko Haram members spread across Lagos state. 
 The DSS in a statement by an official, Tony Opuiyo, on Sunday in Abuja, said those arrested were notable commanders and frontline members of the notorious group from different parts of the country. 
The suspects, who were arrested between July 8 and August 25, 2015, 
include the masterminds of the suicide attacks in Potiskum, Kano, Zaria,
 and Jos. 
The statement noted that the group’s new pattern of movement and spread 
was caused by the pressure being put on it by security forces in its 
core areas of strength in the North-East. 
 
The service listed those arrested in Lagos to include Bakura Modu who was apprehended on July, 20 at Kara, Ogun State; Mustapha Jamberi, who was picked up on July 24 at Gowon Estate. 
 
Others are Abuyi Sheriff, who was nabbed at Ebute-Meta; Babagana Ali and Babagana Koloye, who were arrested on August, 7 at Eric Moore, Surulere. 
 
The service explained that it picked up Abba Sagma at Ijora Badia on August 9; Grema Abubakar and Tijani Bagudu were apprehended at Amukoko, Ijora Badia the next day, while Baba Alhaji and Abass Ibrahim were arrested earlier on the same day at the Alaba International Market, Ojo. 
 
The DSS stated that a Boko Haram commander, Usman Shuaibu, aka 
Money, revealed that he coordinated the suicide attacks in Potiskum, 
Kano, Zaria and Jos, which claimed several lives, with N500,000 that was
 provided by his Amir, one Isa Ali, who had a direct access to the sect 
leader, Abubakar Shekau, from whom he collected money to fund operations
 undertaken by their Markaz. 
 
The agency said, “Shuaibu also revealed that he had participated in 
several Boko Haram attacks, including the attacks at Gwoza Divisional 
Police Station in 2014. 
 
“Nigerians and indeed the general public have to note that the arrest of Shuaibu, aka Money, and the core members of his cell, stemmed the spate of bombings by the extremist sect. It will be recalled that Money and his group were arrested on their way to Bauchi State where they had planned to execute another bomb attack, and this was frustrated by the arrest. 
 
“He admitted to being the leader of the team of nine sect members that 
was dispatched from Sambisa Forest to carry out the attacks. He 
disclosed that four out of the nine of them were used as suicide bombers
 in executing all the (suicide) attacks. 
 “The sudden influx of Boko Haram members into Lagos State points is due 
to the determination of the sect to extend its nefarious terrorist 
activities to the state and in fact, to other parts of the country. 
 
“The arrest of these confessed terrorists 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.” 
 
The DSS said a Boko Haram Improvised Explosive Device expert, Ahmed 
Mohammed, aka Abubakar), admitted to making the IEDs used in the various
 suicide bombings in the country. 
 
“Mohammed also averred that he was the one who strapped the suicide 
bombers, notably Sule and his wives, with IED vests, which they used in 
the attacks in Jos,” the service said. 
 
The secret service further stated that Adamu Abdulahi, aka Babpa, 
confessed that Shuaibu motivated him to work closely with IED expert, 
Mohammed, in the preparation of the IEDs used in the attacks under 
reference. 
 
The service said that another suspect, Ibrahim Issa, confessed that he 
was the one who carried out reconnaissance on the targets in Jos ahead 
of the attacks, while Muttaqa Yusuf (aka Mohammed Sani/Mudtaka), 
disclosed that one Aliyu believed to be Aliyu Gombe in Sambisa forest, 
was the one that ordered the serial attacks which the syndicate carried 
out. 
 
He further confessed that he assisted Shuaibu in planning and executing the said attacks. 
 
Other suspects include Ibrahim Audu, who was arrested on August 19 at 
New Artisan Market, Enugu; Ibrahim Haruna, arrested on August, 21 at 
Kwomi village, Kwami Local Government Area, Gombe State; Ali Mohammodu, 
nabbed on August 22 at Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Fagga LGA in Kano State; and 
Adam Jilbe, who was apprehended on August 23 at Obanikoro, Lagos State. 
 Meanwhile, the DSS has stepped up covert operations to dismantle Boko Haram cells across the country, particularly in the South-West, South-East and South-South where suspected terrorists are hiding. 
The agency restated its determination to work with other stakeholders in
 the fight against terror and other forms of criminality in the country 
and called on citizens to volunteer useful information to the service 
and other security agencies. 
It was learnt that the arrest of notable Boko Haram commanders had 
provided credible leads and intelligence that could assist the service 
to track down insurgents and their supporters, including ‘sleeper 
cells.’ 
 
A source said, “The recent arrest of terror suspects has provided a haul
 of information and intelligence that could assist the service to 
dismantle various terrorist cells. If the security forces can sustain 
the current momentum, we will destroy Boko Haram; it is a matter of 
time.” 
Two security experts, Richard Amuwa and Dr. Ona Ekhomu, have urged 
vigilance and a more friendly relationship between security agents and 
residents to tackle threats of Boko Haram, especially in Lagos. 
 
They said vigilance was the only way to recognise terrorists, adding 
that a friendly relationship would encourage the people to be free to 
report suspicious objects or persons in their neighbourhood. 
 
Ekhomu, who is the President of the Association of Industrial Security 
and Safety Operators of Nigeria, advised Lagosians to imbibe the culture
 of TAPIs ─ Terrorists Attacks Pre-incident Indicators ─ to avoid 
unnecessary deaths and tragedy. 
 
He said, “Boko Haram members have been with us for a while; so one thing
 we can do is to be vigilant against the influx of strangers into 
neighbourhoods. Landlords associations should register okada 
(motorcycle) riders and keke NAPEP (tricycle) drivers. Give them vests 
so that any stranger would be picked up. 
 
“Also, ask questions if anyone moves suspiciously in your area. Look out
 for one another. Everybody must be their brothers’ keepers.” 
 
Ekhomu said the ammunition of war of Boko Haram members was usually the IEDs. 
 
“So, if you see anyone collecting cans; or anyone with bags of 
fertiliser; or anyone with container of diesel when they don’t have a 
generator, be suspicious. These are ingredients for IEDs. Boko Haram 
don’t have easy access to high explosives,” the security expert added. 
 
He also urged Lagosians not to be confrontational if someone looked 
suspicious. He added that the suspect might be armed and could kill to 
save himself. 
 
Ekhomu said, “Contact the authority immediately. You can also contact 
the media to ensure accountability by the security agencies.” 
 
He said, “The people should not hesitate to raise the alarm if they see any strange face in their environment. 
 
Also, Amuwa said the police should be ready to work with the people without creating fear in them. 
“People should think less about their problems, and be more conscious of happenings within their environment.” 
 
Amuwa, who is the Managing Director of the Mega Guards Services Limited,
 also advised the government to ban the wearing of hijab for the time 
being, saying the veil worn by muslim women, was being used by 
terrorists to shield explosives. 
 
He said, “The problem is that how do you detect a Boko Haram member? If 
you are wearing shirts and the terrorist is wearing hijab, how do you 
figure him or her out? That is why we have asked the government to stop 
the wearing of hijab for now.” 
 
In a related development sources told our correspondent that the 
security agencies had been paying attention to some area in Lagos to 
prevent attacks. 
 
The areas include FESTAC, Apapa, Agege, Yaba, Ojuelegba, Obalende, 
Ajegunle, Alimosho, Badagry, Lagos Island, Idi araba, Bariga, Bajulaiye,
 Fola Agoro, Onipanu, Palmgroove, Aguda, Agbado, Ejigbo and Ikorodu, 
among others.
