THE Directorate of Information at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has uncovered plans by terrorists to undertake suicide bomb attacks during the Ramadan fasting period. Acting Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar in a statement issued by him and made available to the media said: “We have information that terrorists plan to use the Ramadan period which usually attracts gathering of large numbers of persons, during morning and evening worship and prayers sessions to carry out large scale bombings.
“Against this background, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to once again advice the general public to be watchful of strange persons and objects in their localities particularly, around places of worship and to promptly report same to security agencies.
It is further advised that adequate security and surveillance be evolved by respective places of worship to forestall any unwholesome acts by some unscrupulous elements.”
However, the DHQ urged law-abiding citizens to go about their normal businesses while assuring that efforts were being made to eliminate the remnants of the terrorists from their hideouts as well as addressing other security challenges in the country.
