Easter: Security On Red Alert In Northern Nigeria



Ahead of Easter celebrations in some parts of troubled Northern Nigeria, SaharaReporters has gathered that security agencies involved in anti-terror response are on red alert to contain possible attacks by Boko Haram.
Our investigations also reveal that even Lagos State in Southern Nigeria is on red alert as well, following last week’s discovery in the area of arms, and the arrest of some suspected terrorists alleged to be nationals of Chad and Niger Republic.
States with stepped-up anti-terrorism activity in the North include Kaduna, Kano, Plateau states, aside Borno and Yobe.
Pointers to plans by Boko Haram sect to strike during the Easter period, according to another a source, come from yesterday’s discovery of bombs and weapons in Kano and the arrest of some Boko Haram members close to a military post in Kaduna.
