Boko Haram plans to attack Maiduguri – Police

 

The Borno state police command, in collaboration with Operation Lafiya Dole High Command, has disclosed that “dislodged and rampaging Boko Haram terrorists have concluded arrangements to attack parts of Maiduguri metropolis; notably, populated/crowded areas to maximise casualty through the use of vehicles fully primed with IEDs.”

This was contained in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Joseph Kwaji, Thursday night, in Maiduguri, the state capital.

The statement read in part: “Consequently, security forces have adequately deployed resources to counter and frustrate this evil plan of the heartless terrorists.

“The Command, therefore, wishes to call upon Borno people and the public at large to promptly alert security personnel of any suspected person(s), suspicious movement, vehicles, objects, etc, for prompt action. Be rest-assured that such information and informants would be treated with utmost confidentiality.

“Finally, with the renewed commitment of the theatre command leadership and all security agencies the general public is once again reassured of the determination of security forces to protect lives and property.”
