church in FESTAC town was arrested and
handed over to security agents. You know we are
from Borno State where these people also hail
from and we know their communities. Our people
back home do monitor them, and once they
leave Maiduguri, we would be alerted so that we
can be on the lookout. Once they arrive any
community in Lagos, our members are always on
ground to fish them out based on intelligence
report and once they are arrested, we hand them
over to security agencies for further investigation
and prosecution”he said
