[Guardian Ng] SECURITY operatives and the Lagos State government have handed over no fewer than 93 suspected Islamic fascisti to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Lagos State Command, for prosecution.The suspects were said to have been taken to the Immigration headquarters on Alagbon, Close, Ikoyi yesterday afternoon.
The Guardian reliably gathered that the suspects comprised Chadians, Malians and Nigeriens.
NIS Spokesman, Lagos State Command, Mr. Muyiwa Odunubi, who confirmed receiving the suspects from security agents, said they would be paraded tomorrow by the Command.
He said: "I can confirm to you that we received 93 suspected Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
members who were handed over to us by the Police and other security agencies."
There were indications last week that the Boko Haram sect might have infiltrated Lagos State following the raid of a building in Ijora Badia area of Lagos, suspected to have haboured the suspected terrorists.
Arrested in the Lagos building were two persons - a Chadian simply identified as Aminu and another man from the northern part of Nigeria, whose identity could not be ascertained.
At the raid carried out by a combined team of OP MESSA, an enhanced military patrol in Lagos, and personnel of the Department of State Security, AK 47 rifles and some explosives said to have been hidden inside the ceiling were retrieved.
The arrest of the two suspects perhaps triggered more raids by security operatives, which brought the number of jugged

suspects to the 93 now in Immigration custody.
