In several areas of Kwara State, the Nigerian Army has started coordinating security operations.
According to security sources, the Nigerian Army’s action was intended to prevent any security breaches in any region of the state.
According to the sources, in order to thwart any upcoming attacks on the state, other security agencies, such as the Police and the Secret Service, have also stepped up their intelligence gathering activities.
“There are intelligence reports that point at the danger of attacks. So the state government has mobilized security agencies and raised the alerts to prevent any breaches. But it is also important for everyone to report suspicious activities or new faces in their environment,” said one of the sources.
“At this stage, everyone must work with the government and security agencies to disallow evil elements from disrupting the peace of the state of launch attacks on government installations or neighborhoods with human population.”
Another source claimed that as the nationwide election campaign gets underway, various regions of Nigeria, including Kwara, are now reporting “opportunistic abductions” carried out to blackmail the political elite.
Recall that there has been an increase in gunman activity in the state recently, which has resulted in killings, maimings, and kidnappings of locals.
Recently, abductions were rife in several areas of the cities of Ilorin and Kwara south.
