The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has warned that Boko Haram terrorists are
planning large scale bomb attacks during this month of Ramadan. The
Ramadan fast starts today June 6th and would see many Muslim faithful
converge in their different Mosques to say their prayers and break their
fast.
A statement by Defence spokesman, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, said
intelligence report gathered by the military indicates that the sect
members are planning to carry out large scale bombings. Abubakar said
this in a statement released yesterday June 5th.
“Against this background, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to once
again advice the general public to be watchful of strange persons and
objects in their localities. Particularly around places of worship and
to promptly report same to security agencies. This is to also advice
that adequate security and surveillance be evolved by respective places
of worship to forestall any unwholesome act by some unscrupulous
elements. The DHQ urges law abiding citizens to go about their normal
businesses while efforts are being made to eliminate the remnants of the
terrorists from their hideouts as well as address other security
challenges in the country”he said
