Following heavy bombardments by security operatives in the North East and North West, some insurgents have relocated to the nation’s capital where they disguise as menial workers.

A security source disclosed this to Daily Trust while reacting to the security advisory by the US Mission in Nigeria.

On Sunday, the US embassy warned Americans in Nigeria to be cautious of their movement in response to elevated risk of terror attacks in Nigeria, specifically in Abuja.

“There is an elevated risk of terror attacks in Nigeria, specifically in Abuja. Targets may include, but are not limited to, government buildings, places of worship, schools, markets, shopping malls, hotels, bars, restaurants, athletic gatherings, transport terminals, law enforcement facilities, and international organizations.

“The U.S. Embassy will offer reduced services until further notice. Actions to Take: Avoid all non-essential travel or movement. Stay alert. Avoid crowds,” the advisory read.

The news had reignited fear in the nation’s capital as residents. There was tension in Abuja months ago when terrorists overran the Kuje Correctional Centre and set free 800 inmates, including all the Boko Haram suspects in detention.

After that, troops of the Presidential Guards Brigade were killed in an ambush within the nation’s capital. This heightened worry among residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), who eventually moved on with their lives.

However, the situation became worrisome after the recent US advisory.

But security sources told Daily Trust that they were aware that some ISWAP commanders and foot soldiers had melted into the civilian population in and around Abuja, perfecting plans to launch attacks about the same time.

The sources said most embassies in Nigeria were aware of this and therefore the announcement by the US Embassy might just be one of such advisories as others must have told their citizens quietly to be on the watch.

“We have gone far in securing not only the FCT but Nigeria at large…The terrorists have no hiding place anymore because we are tracking and picking them.

“We know all their antics. Many of them are working as mechanics, tailors, carpenters, labourers and even experts in some fields…We know what is happening.”

The Department of State Services (DSS) has allayed the fears of Nigerians, especially residents of the nation’s capital.

Why not fish them out and prosecute them

What is DSS doing about it?

Who does not know that our military, government and terrorists are business partners?

Sick people everywhere

Make dem no dey sell Suya o abeg

Noted

Y’all should be careful cos they are also working as agbados and cassavas urchins y’all be guided...

Probably they're in Lagos and other places too as labourers and artisans.

We've gotten this intelligence report in my office since August. They're disguised as mai ruwa, shoe cobblers, dustbin packers, tailors, amongst other things. Make una dey vigilant o! Do not let those Abokis know how you're living, neither should you present yourself as a person of interest. Just transact with them and let them go. Reports have it that they're calmly waiting for the result of the 2023 elections to favour them, after which they will launch a full-scale offensive in the South.

Desperate criminals...APC has never won Abuja, chaos is there end game.

Their security source claim to know their antics yet these terrorists are operating almost freely within a sovereign state. Let’s continue fooling ourselves.

Who doesn’t knows this! Every Nigerian knows most of these Okada & Keke rides, scrap pickers, shoe repairers are Biko haram terrorist who are trying to understand how Urban metropolis works should they want to carry out an attack

Ok

I don't want to believe that there is any government worse than Buhari's APC government in the entire world, you don't need to curse a country if you hate that country.

Just wish them the type of Buhari/APC government - But that APC is Tinubu's Legacy

And so?


U can't do anything about that


Be working on how to stop the attacks from happening.


Anyone working anywhere can be said to be a potential bad person or potential Boko haram member


All they have to do is Boko Haram

Anything una see make una bear am

And baba Buhari said America was lying.

It's not until they start blowing up places screaming "Allahu Akbar" that we round them up.

Mad people in government.
Tufiakwa !!!

Be on your guard out there

Hmmmm

They are everywhere down to our respective villages.

The cobblers, okada riders, etc...

They have us all encircled like a dot in a circle.

Can you imagine America is giving Nigeria a head up about a potential security threat in Nigeria. No be juju be that ?

No be buhari release dem, say dem don repent?

Only in Nigeria would terrorists repent from a cause they're ready to die for .

They are even cabinet in the presidency after all shettima is a renowned commander intending VP

Knowing they are there and taking action against them are two different things. The fire brigade approach must be ditched for proactive measures.
