A cross section of Nigerians has
reacted to the alert by the United States that the Al-Qaeda terrorist group has
started penetrating Nigeria through the north-western region.
NigerianEye on Wednesday reported that the Nigerian
authorities have been alerted by the US that the Al-Qaeda terrorist group and
ISIS have started penetrating the country.
The Commander of the U.S. Special
Operations Command, Africa, Dagvin Anderson, made this know during a press
briefing, adding that they are also expanding to other parts of West Africa.
The new information has stirred
reactions from Nigerians on social media.
Some expressed worries over the
alert in the midst of the fight against Boko Haram and insecurity concerns in
the country.
Here are some reactions gathered from
Twitter:
@KennyAdazie “ I hope “our
Amotékun” are ready!
@Funshographix “ We’re still
battling with Boko Haram. ISIS and Al-Qaeda are also coming. I think they have
heard the way President Buhari is treating Boko Haram well than the citizens of
this country. The same US warning us kept silent about how Buhari is giving
Boko Haram special treatments.”
@Doumar_Praise “ Gradually
Nigeria is becoming a home for terrorist and a ground for terrorism. We all
signed for this by voting in those in power so unfortunate to be a Nigerian.”
@Inioluwa “ ISIS cannot turn
Nigeria into a terrorism hotspot. We cannot survive this. It will plunge us
into chaos. We are not a strong sovereign presence economically, we are
witnessing capital flight, we are already dealing with insecurity and loss of
lives. This will become the icing.”
@Oyinbojoseph5 “ We need our
Niger delta militants if Buhari does not intervene they should go back to their
old ways pick up weapons they have dropped then secure our South-South.That’s
what we need every southern region to secure their place.”
@Minesam_ “ ISIS and al qaeda are
planning to invade Nigeria from the south Kaduna. In 2015, a Top wanted ISIS
commander; Ahmed Al-Assir, got arrested in Lebanon on his way to Nigeria with a
valid Nigerian Visa.Who gave him that Visa? The FG didn’t bother to investigate
the Visa issuer
@Firstladyship “ US intelligence
has alerted Nigeria about “ISIS & Al-Qaeda’s plans to start attacking
Southern Nigeria and make incursions into the North-West” but fear not,
“Buhari’s army will capture them and within 3 months, they will repent, put on
white and green garments on their convocation.”
@Iamjonado “ Why won’t ISIS
consider Nigeria as their next line of target When they see the way we’re
giving ISWAP and Boko-Haram goody goodies why won’t they penetrate Southern
Nigeria. Maybe they’ll get oil fields or wells this time around.”
@MrOdanz “ Buhari is literally
providing a fertile ground for other elements within the terrorists network
worse than Boko Haram to thrive and flourish in Nigeria. A US security
intelligence report has already revealed how ISIS is making headway in the
NORTH-WEST and silence follows.”
@Akanbi_Agbe “ Why won’t ISIS
consider Nigeria as their next line of target? Nigeria soldiers will capture
them, and they will repent in no time, and they will rejoin the society, are
you not thinking what I’m thinking?
@Patito702 “ But do we even need
the US or anyone to tell Nigerians that after successfully infiltrating the
North, terrorists would move to the South? It’s logic derived from seeing that
these guys are plain, vile animals.”
