From the Department of State Services, DSS, comes a scary warning. Terrorists are coming.
Ever alert to its primary duties of intelligence gathering, the DSS alerted that Insurgents are on their way to attack border communities in Ogun State and other border Communities around the country. Their main targets, the Secret Police said, would be military installations and facilities, its intelligence gathering strongly confirms.
The DSS has, therefore, warned the Nigeria Customs Services and other security agencies to be on alert and repel the terrorists.
The warning, according to a report by the Punch, was contained in a letter by the State Director of the DSS, Ogun State, M.B. Abdullahi, dated November 25, 2021, to his counterparts in the Customs and other Security Agencies.
Terrorists have been on the prowl in Nigeria for years, especially in the North where it has worsened in the past couple of years.
Abdullahi’s letter which he titled Plans By Insurgents To Launch Attacks On Military Bases In various Border Communities reads:
“Available intelligence indicates plans by insurgents and criminal elements to carry out simultaneous attacks on Military bases in various border communities across the nation anytime from now.
“In view of the foregoing and the likelihood such attacks are not limited to military personnel only, all law enforcement and security agencies with operational bases at border communities are advised to take note of the above threat and emplace countermeasures with emphasis on personal security of operatives to frustrate the planned attacks, please.”
Nigeria has lost thousands of souls, both on the side of civilians and security agencies to such sudden attacks by insurgents and other criminal elements.
