Boko Haram Threatens To Attack Akwa Ibom
The Akwa Ibom State Government says it has
received text messages from the Boko Haram terrorist group threatening
to attack public places in the state. Punch reports that 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
