Boko Haram Terrorist in Lagos, Says Buratai

One of the Boko Haram terrorists, hiding in Lagos, was arrested on Saturday; the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has announced.
Buratai, who had warned that the militants dislodged from Sambisa Forest were relocating to other parts of the country, revealed that security agents arrested the wanted Boko Haram terrorist in Ikorodu, on the outskirts of Lagos.
According to a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report, Buratai announced the Ikorodu arrest while making a remark before Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno cut the tape to re-open two major roads that were closed since 2013 at the height of the atrocities of the insurgents.
The roads are Maiduguri-Gubio-Damasak and Maiduguri-Monguno-Baga. They were opened in the wake of the declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that the terrorists had been flushed out of Sambisa Forest.
Buratai charged soldiers and other security agents not to relent until all the terrorists who had waged a war against Nigeria since 2009 are arrested.
“You must maintain the momentum of the operation. We must pursue the terrorists wherever they are. We must not allow them to regroup,” he said.
Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, said that the roads being reopened were closed three years ago to check the incursion of the insurgents.
