A raid carried out by security agents last Thursday on Ijora Badia, a Lagos neighbourhood, may have saved the nation’s commercial capital from possible multiple attacks by terrorists, THISDAY investigations revealed Sunday. The raid, carried out by both operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) and Operation Mesa (OP Mesa), a combined security outfit comprising the police and the 

armed forces, led to the arrest of some suspects.

New details obtained by THISDAY showed that contrary to the initial information from security agencies that only two suspected Boko Haram members were arrested during the raid, over 14 persons were nabbed and are currently in custody undergoing interrogation.
