The National Orientation Agency, NOA, has sounded a note of warning of planned terror attacks by Boko Haram in the South-West region of the country.
The agency said the terrorists may have infiltrated the region going by recent security reports. It advised schools, churches and mosques, among other usually crowded places, on the need to put measures in place to arrest any possible attack.
A statement released in Ado-Ekiti by the state Director of NOA, Mr. Dayo Famosaya, the alarm had become necessary because of the need to be security conscious and watch out for strangers in their neighbourhood.
“They have threatened to deploy cluster bombs in the zone. These cluster bombs are usually housed in discarded metallic materials such as cans of beverages and soft drinks.
“The bombs may be concealed in bags and for it to have more grievous effect, they have planned to deploy these bombs in crowded places such as schools, markets, stadia, churches and mosques.”
It warned the public to watch out for people wearing flowing apparel, as it was the type of cloth they wear to hide their weapons.
