Daily Trust quoted a reliable source who revealed that the suspect was apprehended in the Ijaye area of Abeokuta.

The report said the development has created anxiety among residents of the area.

The source also narrated how the terror suspect eventually succumbed to the superior power of the DSS operatives having initially put up a resistance.According to the paper, the suspected terrorist relocated to Abeokuta from Katsina state and took up a security job which he used as a decoy to gather intelligence for terrorist attacks.

A security source also added that he moved to Abeokuta to establish a terrorists’ cell for kidnapping and other forms of terror activities.

Acting upon an intelligence, the gun-wielding DSS operatives stormed his hideout and smoked him out.

The source revealed that, “It was not an easy ride. Intelligence and the grace of God weresufficient for the operatives. There are still many of them around, but we are on top of our game.”

Daily Trust correspondence gathered that the suspect is still in the custody of the DSS.

Meanwhile, when contacted, spokesman for the DSS, Dr Peter Afunanya, could neither denied nor confirmed the arrest as his response to a text message enquiry simply read “No comment.”

Similarly, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officers, Abimbola Oyeyemi, denied any knowledge of the development.

This development comes barely a week after a security report warned that terrorists were planning to carry out a coordinated attack in five states across the country, including Lagos.

Obi distances self from campaign posters on Muslim prayer mats

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has issued a disclaimer against campaign posters of himself on Muslim prayer mats. The said prayer mats were made by support groups to be shared as campaign souvenirs to potential Muslim voters. Pictures of the mats went viral on social media, drawing the condemnation of many, especially Muslims whose religion frowns at the use of images on items of worship.Declaring his “deep respect” for the Muslim faith, the former Governor of Anambra State wrote on his Twitter handled that the mats were not from his campaign team. “The inclusion of my picture on the praying mat by a support group was misguided, even with the best of intentions,” he tweeted on Friday. “It didn’t emanate from my campaign team. I have deep respect for the Muslim faith and indeed, for every other religion. We will never mock any faith, ethnicity or gender. We are one Nigeria.”
