Nigerian Military Allays Fears of Possible Attacks in
Abuja, Environs
1. The Defence Headquarters wish to reassure residents of FCT
and other adjoining States that the Armed Forces of Nigeria and
other security agencies have been on red alert to combat crime and
ensure effective surveillance of the Federal Capital Territory and
other States of the country. This is imperative sequel to a
purported memorandum from the Nigeria Customs Service warning its
staff on a possible attack on the FCT. The Armed Forces of Nigeria
working together with other security and response agencies
particularly the core intelligence agencies hereby assure the
general public that preventive and preemptive intelligence are
ongoing. The general public is thus advised to go about their
lawful businesses undeterred.
2. Furthermore, the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security
agencies wish to assure the general public that the offensives
against the common enemies of this Nation will not cease until
normalcy is restored in all parts of the country. Hence, the
general public is equally enjoined to remain vigilant and report
any suspicious activity accordingly.
