Boko Haram Threatens To Attack A’Ibom
The dreaded Boko Haram Insurgents are reportedly threatening to attack Akwa Ibom state, according to the state government.
The Akwa Ibom State Government said it
had received text messages from the Boko Haram terrorist group
threatening to attack public places in the state.
This was revealed in a statement issued
on Friday evening by the state Commissioner for Information and
Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, said the public places targeted
include churches, markets and schools, among others.
Umanah advised members of the public to
be security conscious and be extra-vigilant by reporting suspicious
movements to security personnel for immediate action.
He assured residents of their safety,
saying government had directed security agencies to step up surveillance
to prevent likely attack on the state.
Umanah urged the residents to go about
their legitimate businesses as government was poised to sustain the
peace being enjoyed in the state.
The state government, however, frowned
at the re-emergence of activities of commercial motorcyclists in Uyo
metropolis despite the existing ban on their operations.
