As Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ ,they do so with active mindset of being alert,especially those in the Northern part of Nigeria. However security agencies involved in
anti-terror response are on red alert to contain possible attacks by
Boko Haram.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.
A military officer in Kaduna confirmed that important infrastructure
and institutions in and around Kaduna are being heavily protected and
monitored in different ways following tips that suspected terrorists are
planing attacks.
Last year in Kaduna State, there was a terror attack on Easter Day in
which about 50 persons lost their lives and a lot of property was
destroyed when a bomb-laden car on a suicide bomb mission exploded on a
major road while transiting to a target.
