Hakeem Odumosu, commissioner of police in Lagos, says the
command has received intelligence on plot to attack churches and mosques during
yuletide.
Odumosu spoke while responding to questions at a briefing in
Lagos on Wednesday.
The police commissioner was asked to comment on the security
alert released by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday.
The DSS had raised the alarm over a plot to carry out
violent attacks on public places and vulnerable points during the yuletide.
The agency had asked Nigerians to be on the alert, saying it
is collaborating with other agencies for the protection of lives and property.
Speaking on the development, Odumosu said the intelligence
came from Abuja and that the police force is already taking steps to ensure
that the sinister plot is “nipped in the bud”.
He also said the force has identified vulnerable areas in
the state and made adequate deployment to forestall any attack.
“The intelligence report came out and specifically said that
churches and mosques are targets of the attacks,” Odumosu said.
“We are working on that, everyone should rest assured that
there is adequate security and they go about their lawful businesses without
fear.”
