There are indications that the military and other security agencies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have been put on high alert following intelligence report that the Boko Haram insurgents plan to attack Abuja again.

The information letter from the Federal Capital Territory Administration reads in part:

“Their main targets are worship centres and markets with the use of young girls as members of aid groups to carry out their planned attacks.”

The letter was sent to all mosques, churches and markets across the FCT “for extra vigilance particularly unknown persons dressing as aid workers loitering around the worship areas and markets.”
 


The Boko Haram insurgents, after 15 month since the last attack on the capital city, returned to Abuja in October at the same time bombing locations in two satellite towns and killing at least 15 people.

The terror sect had been successfully fenced away from the capital since it attacked a shopping plaza -Emab – in the Wuse 2 District of the city on June 24, 2014, killing  at least 21 and injuring 17 others.
