UPDATED: Boko Haram: Nigerian military allays fears of Abuja, Kogi, Nasarawa residents

The Nigerian military has said it and other security agencies will continue to ensure ‘effective surveillance’ of Abuja and its neighbouring states to prevent an attack by Boko Haram.

However, a supposed internal memo of the Customs service suggests the terrorists are regrouping around Abuja, Kogi and Nasarawa, all in North-central Nigeria.The military’s statement was in response to the controversial memo, purportedly signed by the Comptroller, Enforcement of the Nigeria Customs Service headquarters, H.A Sabo, disclosing that the terrorist group has camped in five prominent locations in Abuja with plans to unleash terror on residents of the city.

When contacted by PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday morning, the spokespersons of the Customs service and the Nigerian Army, Joseph Attah and Sagir Musa respectively, denied knowledge of the circulated memo. He said the military and other security and intelligence agencies are working hard to ensure no Boko Haram attack occurs in those states.
