The leader of the Hausa community in Lagos, Sarkin Hausawa of Lagos, Alhaji Sani Kabir, has said over 1,000 Boko Haram members have been arrested by Northerners in Lagos and other states in the South-West of the country.

According to him, the members of the sect arrested were those fleeing from the military and civilian JTF onslaught against them in the North-East, and those who also came to continue their violence in the South-West.

“So far in the South-west, we have peace and this is achieved through the collaboration of Arewa people and Arewa chiefs.

“If you can confirm with the security agencies, we have arrested more than 1,000 Boko Haram members throughout the South-west states. Any suspicious movement, we promptly report to the security agents because we believe that the problem is actually the Nigerian problem but if there is any breakdown of law and order in the South-west, we are the prime targets irrespective of whether you are a member of Boko Haram or not.”
