The Borno state police command
says Boko Haram is planning to attack Maiduguri, capital of the state, with
vehicles primed with improvised explosive device (IED).
Ahmed Bello, an assistant
commissioner of police, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
Bello said the attack was beng
coordinated by dislodged Boko Haram from Sambisa forest.
He said 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 persons, suspicious movement, vehicles, objects, etc
for prompt action,” the statement read.
“Be rest assured that such
information and informants would be treated with utmost confidentiality, adding
that the security agencies were working to protect lives.”
The alert comes about 24 hours
after the sect carried out suicide attacks in the ancient city.
