For our friends and families and lovers of AEB who follow current developments on ways to fight any acts of terrorism and counter-terrorism in our Dear Nation Nigeria. Here is another FGN submission:
A foreign agency report on Thursday, quoting an unnamed top security
official, says the government has opened a secret centre in Lagos “to
hold and interrogate suspected high-level” members of the violent
Islamic sect. “The prison is in Lagos, far from the violence plaguing
the country’s predominantly Muslim north, where Boko Haram carries out
frequent bombings and ambushes,” the American Associated Press reports
quotes the top security official as said. The source is said to be
involved in the detention centre project. But the Federal Government on
Thursday denied any move to create such a facility in Lagos. Minister of
Interior, Abba Moro, told our correspondent on telephone that the
government had no such plan, adding that the counter-terror strategy of
the government did not include such a facility. He said, “To the best of
my knowledge, there is no such. The prisons in Lagos are full already
and we are not contemplating any movement of terror suspects to
anywhere.” The Nigerian Prisons Service also said it was not aware of
any plan to move Boko Haram suspects to prisons in Lagos.
