Terror Alert: Security Agencies Arrest 35 ISWAP Fighters In Abuja

Five commanders of the Islamic State West Africa Province and 30 fighters were arrested during a joint operation launched by the Department of State Services, the National Intelligence Agency, the police, and other security agencies.

The alleged terrorists were detained at a DSS facility after being apprehended at their various hideouts in Abuja, Mararaba, and other remote regions of the Federal Capital Territory, according to Punch Newspaper.

The arrests were made as tensions in the nation’s capital rose as the well-known Jabi Lake Mall on Thursday closed its doors to patrons and shoppers due to a security situation.

The FCT Administration claimed that demolishing the shanties on the Law School property was necessary as part of security measures to deter criminal activity.

Additionally, it was discovered that the intelligence services had been tracking the insurgents before the US and British High Commissions last Sunday issued security alerts informing their citizens of impending terrorist attacks.
