The Special Task Force on Security in Jos, code-named Operation Safe Haven, has alerted residents of the Boko Haram’s intent to attack soft targets in the Plateau State capital.
The STF revealed that in the past two weeks, it had disrupted planned attacks by the boko haram on targeted places such as markets, shopping malls and places that harboured large gathering of people at a particular time.
OPSH Media and Communication Officer, Capt. Ikedichi Iweha in a statement he gave on Sunday,11th October in Jos exposed the plans of terrorists to attack crowded places such as parks, relaxation sports, mosque and churches, adding that managers of such spots and residents alike have been warned to take extra security measures around their vicinity from henceforth.
"T
he planned attack, which has been consistently foiled by security operatives for about two weeks running, has already seen the increased presence of security personnel around identified flash
points.
It has also witnessed an increase in checkpoint activities and nipping points, established at random at hitherto quiet places. Also commercial vehicle and tricyle operators are equally enjoined to, at random, report any suspicious passengers in their vehicles or tricycle to the nearest checkpoint.
Such was the case only recently by a woman, who overheard a discussion by supposedly fellow passengers at an OPSH checkpoint, which led to the arrest of the suspects.
OPSH reiterates its readiness to respond to any act of breach of security or criminality which is capable of causing possible death and destruction of property promptly."
Capt. Ikedichi Iweha stated.
