Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Plans by Boko Haram, Islamic State\u2019s West Africa Province (ISWAP) and bandits to attack some States in Nigeria have been uncovered.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) raised the alarm in a memo seen by Nigerian Tribune.<\/p>\n

The alert revealed that the two sects were in possession of sophisticated weapons to be used for targets in Katsina State.<\/p>\n

Similarly, other terrorists\u2019 groups are gearing up to hit Abuja, the nation\u2019s capital, and others, including Lagos State.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC advised all State commands to protect public places and government facilities across the country.<\/p>\n

Deputy Commandant General (DCG) of Operations, DD Mungadi signed the July 24 memo titled \u201cHeightened Plots By Terrorists To Stage Coordinated Attacks in Parts of the Country\u201d<\/p>\n

It said intelligence shows that Boko-Haram and the ISWAP \u201chave mobilised fighters and high calibre weapons particularly Rocket-propelled Grenade (RPG) launchers, Anti-Aircraft (AA) guns and General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGS)\u201d.<\/p>\n

These are for the offensive in Katsina, the home State of President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

It added that \u201ctwo separate bandits groups\u2019 are plotting coordinated attacks on North-West, North Central and South West. (Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kogi, FCT and Lagos) respectively\u201d.<\/p>\n

The civil defence directed its personnel to increase deployment to schools, worship centres and critical national assets in their respective States to checkmate possible threats by criminal elements.<\/p>\n

The information was conveyed the same day terrorists ambushed the Presidential Guards Brigade along the Kubwa-Bwari road in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The elite arm of the Nigerian Army is responsible for protecting the President.<\/p>\n
