The Nigeria Police Force says it has discovered plans to attack major cities of Jos and Abuja by Boko Haram terrorists.
In a letter addressed to the Commissioners of Police and Command Headquarters of the FCT/Plateau State and signed by Ag. CP Idowu Owhunwa, Principal Staff Officer to the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, the police said it uncovered the possible attack through intelligence report.
Baba ordered the police personnel to review their security architecture across all critical Government infrastructures and police facilities in their jurisdiction with a view to checkmating the dastardly plans of the terrorists.
The letter read;
“Intelligence report at the disposal of the Inspector-General of Police has uncovered plan by Boko Haram Terrorists to attack major cities in the country, particularly in Jos, Plateau State and the FCT, Abuja.
“The proposed attacks would be coordinated by the duo of Muhammad Sani, a Boko Haram Commander, domiciled in Sambisa Forest and his Deputy, Suleiman (fnu), hibernating around Lawan Musa Zango, Gashua, Yobe State.
“In light of the above, it is the directive of the Inspector-General of Police that you review your security architecture across all critical Government infrastructures and police facilities in your jurisdiction with a view to checkmating the dastardly plans of these marauding terrorists.”
