Breaking: Boko Haram Plan Explosions In Maiduguir During Sallah-military by Rikidony(m): 9:19am On Oct 03, 2014
Boko Haram militants allegedly plot to launch the
massive attack on Borno State capital Maiduguri during
Sallah festival.

According to Sahara Reporters the Nigerian military learnt that
the sect plan to carry out multiple explosions. To prevent the
tragic development the military announced strict measures
regrading the movement of vehicles in Borno.

Army’s 7th Division spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said in a
statement that information“at the disposal of security agencies
reveals that Boko Haram terrorists have perfected plans to
launch multiple bomb explosions in Maiduguri metropolis and
other major towns across Borno State during the Eid El Kabir
celebrations 2014 using motor vehicles, tricycles, etc. Their
main targets include Sallah praying grounds, markets and
other public places.”

Vehicular movement will be banned in Borno from 5 p.m.
today, October 3, to 7 a.m. on Monday, October 6.
Usman urged Nigerian Muslims to perform Eid El Kabir
prayers at praying grounds close to their homes adding:
“While necessary security measures are being implemented,
members of the general public are hereby requested to
comply fully with this embargo as defaulters will be severely
sanctioned.”

The spokesman stated however that workers of hospital and
other essential services make an exemption from the order.
Nigerians were asked to remain vigilant and report any
suspicious objects, movements and persons to the nearest
security agencies.

It would be recalled that reports about possible attacks on
Maiduguri first surfaced last month and were based on the
gathered intelligence. The information emerged as Boko
Haram continued seizing news Nigerian towns and declaring
caliphate in the captured territories.

Amid the fears that the state capital might be soon fall under
control of the insurgents, soldiers soon started evacuating
families from two major barracks .

However the Nigerian military have recently repelled several
attacks on Konduga town , which was supposed to become a
gateway for storming Maiduguri. In September 17 operation
the the Nigerian defence claimed the army had killed the
impersonator of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau. Still,
yesterday “Shekau” appeared in the new video saying he is still
alive , but the DHQ called the information provided in the new
video a manipulation.
