The Kaduna State Government has urged residents of the state to be at alert over the threat of possible terrorist attacks in public places.
According to a statement by Samuel Aruwan, the state commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs on Monday, terrorists have planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) in some public places such as schools, hospitals, hotels, bars, entertainment centres, restaurants, parks, major roads and places of worship.
The fear was heightened by Sunday night’s detonation of a suspected IED in the Kabala West area of Kaduna.
Aruwan noted, “The Kaduna State government wishes to issue a crucial advisory to citizens across the state for alertness to the threat of explosive devices planted in public places by terrorists.”
This, he said, follows sustained assessments by security agencies and the possibility of terrorists looking to harm residents.
