This was disclosed by Lagos CJTF head, Mustapha Mohammed while speaking to journalists.

“One of their leaders that was hiding at a church in FESTAC town was arrested and handed over to security agents,” Mohammed said according to The Cable.

“You know we are from Borno State where these people also hail from and we know their communities. Our people back home do monitor them, and once they leave Maiduguri, we would be alerted so that we can be on the lookout.
