Boko Haram Threatens To Attack Akwa Ibom

The Akwa Ibom State Government said it had
received text messages from the Boko Haram
terrorist group threatening to attack public places
in the state.

A statement issued on Friday evening by the state
Commissioner for Information and
Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, said the
public places targeted include churches, markets
and schools, among others.

Umanah advised members of the public to be
security conscious and be extra-vigilant by
reporting suspicious movements to security
personnel for immediate action.

He assured residents of their safety, saying
government had directed security agencies to step
up surveillance to prevent likely attack on the state.
Umanah urged the residents to go about their
legitimate businesses as government was poised to
sustain the peace being enjoyed in the state.

The state government, however, frowned at the re-
emergence of activities of commercial motorcyclists
in Uyo metropolis despite the existing ban on their
operations.
