Consequently, NOA, has advised
schools, churches and mosques, among other usually crowded places, on the need
to put measures in place to arrest any possible attack.
A statement released in
Ado-Ekiti by the state Director of NOA, Mr. Dayo Famosaya, said the alarm had
become necessary because of the need to be security conscious and watch out for
strangers in their neighbourhood.
Famosaya, in the statement
entitled Public information on security consciousness and awareness, said Boko
Haram fighters may have infiltrated the South-western part of the country,
going by the content of security agents reports.
He said: “They have threatened
to deploy cluster bombs in the zone. These cluster bombs are usually housed in
discarded metallic materials such as cans of beverages and soft drinks.
“The bombs may be concealed in
bags and for it to have more grievous effect, they have planned to deploy these
bombs in crowded places such as schools, markets, stadia, churches and
mosques.”
It warned the public to watch
out for people wearing flowing apparel, as it was the type of cloth they wear
to hide their weapons.
