BOKOHARAM THREATENS TO STRIKE ON SALLAH DAY,SECURITY SECTOR ENCOURAGES NIGERIANS TO BE SECURITY CONSCIOUS

There’s palpable fear in the ancient city of Kano following a short message system (sms) being sent to residents of the state by unknown persons that the Boko Haram sect was planning to strike at important places on Eid-el-Kabir’s Day, DailyPost has learnt.
According to the message, “members of the general public are hereby advised to stay indoors between Tuesday and Wednesday as Boko Haram agents are likely to strike. They would pretend as women, but they are suicide bombers. Please, kindly inform your loved ones to be security conscious.”
The circulation of several text messages about plans by the Boko Haram to attack specific targets in Kano and other northern states has become rampant, thereby causing apprehension and panic among residents of the state.
This came few days after the Joint Task Force (JTF), in the early hours of Monday, uncovered a bomb factory where bombs and other explosive devises were being made in preparation for use during the Eid el Kabir and Christmas celebrations.
Among the dangerous weapons uncovered from Gunduwawa village in Gezawa Local Government Area in the ancient city of Kano were 193 rounds of 5.3mm ammunition , one AK 47 magazine, 107 rounds of 7.6mm special ammunition and working tools and materials used for making Improvised Explosive Devices (EIDs ).
