The house where security operatives arrested nine
suspected terrorists, including a Chadian, in Ijora-Badia, a Lagos mainland
suburb, belongs to Bayelsa State government, a monarch claimed.
Yesterday Ojora of Ijora, Oba Fatai Oyeyinka
Aromire, in whose domain soldiers attached to Lagos internal security outfit –
Operation-MESA, arrested the suspects accused the government of Bayelsa State
of complicity in the presence of terrorist suspects in Nigeria’s economic hub.
Oba Aromire blamed the government for abandoning the
property, a development he said encouraged miscreants to use it as a hideout.
He said all the efforts made in the past by him and
security agencies to get the Bayelsa government to either demolish the building
or lease it out, considering the dangers of leaving it empty, yielded no
result.

There were no comments from the Bayelsa government
whose official promised “to get back to” The Nation.
The royal father, who frowned at the discovery of
ammunition, including two AK47 rifles in his community, said it was God who
saved the state from the suspected terrorists.
The Ojora spoke during a courtesy visit of Hausa
leaders, led by the Chairman of the Council of Arewa Chiefs in Lagos, Alhaji
Kabiru Garuba, to his palace. ( Via The Nation )
