The Lagos State Police Command said it has arrested two suspected
militants, who attempted to attack Igando community, a suburb in the
state.
Spokesperson of the command, Mr Dolapo Badmos, a Superintendent of
Police, said in Lagos on Saturday that the suspects were nabbed on
Thursday and three guns and ammunition were recovered from them.
She said that some residents of Igando alerted the police of the
attempted attack by suspected militants, who came in a boat through the

“Immediately, the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni,
deployed more men to the area. Two suspects were arrested with some

“The police will find out who they are, where they come from and their mission.
“We advise members of the public in the area and other parts of
the state not to panic as the police are on top of the situation,’’ she said.
