The Nigerian Army has uncovered plans by Boko Haram terrorists to
hit locations in Lagos, Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi, Bauchi, Katsina, Imo, Yobe
and Borno states as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
According to an intelligence document exclusively obtained by
SaharaReporters, the terrorists’ targets include markets, schools,
police stations and formations, prison facilities as well as the just
re-opened schools in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.
The document (AHQ DATOPS/G3/240/225/3), marked “Secret”,
was signed by Colonel B. Suleiman on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff.
Dated 5 August 2016 and distributed to the headquarters of 1 and 2
Division of the Army, the document said the Army Headquarters is in
possession of information that strongly points to a wave of Boko Haram
attacks in the aforementioned locations and other parts of the country.
“The targeted areas include, but not limited to police
stations, prison facilities, schools, and market places. Details show
that the terrorist group intends to target police stations/formations in
Abuja, Kano, Kebbi and Sokoto states, while prison facilities will be
attacked in Adamawa State,” it stated.
Boko Haram, added the document, has already sent foot soldiers to
prepare for attacks on marketplaces in Bauchi, Katsina and Imo states.
It similarly listed schools, which are currently being re-opened in
Borno and Yobe states as places where the terrorists intend to cause
large-scale destruction.
“In view of the above, I am directed to inform you of the
imminent threat and respectfully request that you take all necessary
proactive measures to prevent BHTs (Boko Haram Terrorists) from carrying
out these heinous acts. Please, treat as very urgent and acknowledge,” the document stated.
