The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned about planned attacks on worship and recreational centres before and during the Eid Kabir celebrations.
According to the DSS, the recovery of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from terrorists in joint operations by the service, personnel of the Nigerian Army and Police laid credence to the planned attack.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the Service, Peter Afunanya, on Thursday.
On its part, the DSS calls for vigilance before the Eid celebrations, more so because reports indicate plans to attack worship and recreational centres before and during the festivities. This is evident in the recovery of primed IEDs among the suspected terrorists,” it read in part.
Afunanya also urged operators and patrons of public places, including markets, malls, “to be watchful and report any suspicious movements and persons to the relevant security agencies.”
In the joint operations carried out between June 19 and 22 in Nasarawa and Kogi states, a gang leader identified as Kabir Bala was shot dead during a gun duel in Kogi.
