I salute the gallant men of Nigerian military for their hard-work and living up to expectation…
Catastrophe was averted in Kaduna and other contiguous areas when troops of the Nigerian Army arrested 7 suspected Boko Haram terrorists bomb and Improvised Explosive making Devices (IEDs) specialists.
The terrorists were arrested in Kaduna after painstaking surveillance and proactive intelligence operations over a period of time.
From all indications, the suspects were in Kaduna to conduct suicide bombings, kill and maim innocent citizens in the state and other surrounding areas during the Christmas period.
Recall that recently in Maiduguri some of them were arrested while trying to detonate IEDs carried in food containers in public places.
Therefore, the public is please requested to continue to be more vigilant and security conscious by reporting suspicious persons and their movements to security agencies.
This request has become necessary because the terrorists have resorted to mingling with the public across the country after sensing the futility of their encounter with troops in the northeast. Therefore, they adopt other methods of perpetuating violence in the society.
