The Borno State police command has issued a warning to residents to be alert as there is an impending attack by Boko Haram using vehicles loaded with explosives in Maiduguri.

The statement was signed and released by Ahmed Bello, an assistant commissioner of police in the command, who said the attack could take place in different parts of the city therefore the security organs in the state have been mobilised to strategic locations to avert its possible occurrence.

The Borno state police command in collaboration with “Operation Lafiya Dole” high command wishes to draw the attention of the general public that information at the disposal of the theatre command reveals that dislodged and rampaging Boko Haram terrorists have concluded arrangements to attack parts of Maiduguri metropolis notably, populated/crowed areas to maximize casualty through the use of vehicles fully primed with IEDs. Consequently, security forces have adequately deployed resources to counter and frustrate this evil plan of the heartless terrorists.

The command therefore, wishes to call upon Borno people and the public at large to promptly alert security personnel of any suspected person(s), suspicious movement, vehicles, objects, etc for prompt action. Be rest assured that such information and informants would be treated with utmost confidentiality.

Finally, with the renewed commitment of the theatre command leadership and all security agencies the general public is once again reassured of the determination of security forces to protect lives and property” he said
