Boko Haram plans to attack churches, mosques and markets in Abuja – DSS warns

The plots were revealed by the Department of State Services, DSS. This is contained in a memo by the Director of Security Services, Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Ibrahim, where he urged religious bodies to put their members on the alert.

The memo asked residents to report suspicious elements around places of worship to the authorities using these numbers: 09063872207, 09053872208 and 09053872209. The terrorists plan to use young girls.

It reads in part: “Intelligence reaching this office revealed that insurgents are planning to attack the Federal Capital Territory. Their main targets are worship centers and markets with the use of young girls as members of aid groups to carry out their planned attacks.

It is in view of the foregoing, I am directed to inform you to communicate the content of this letter 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.
