The U.S. said on Tuesday that Al-Qaeda and ISIS were looking to make an inroad into Southern Nigeria and penetrate the north-western part of the country.
Director, Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, briefing Newsmen during a Monthly News Conference on Defence and Security in Abuja on Friday . 02329/28/4/2017/Johnson Udeani/ICE/NANThe Defence Headquarters has allayed fears of Nigerians over alleged plans by Al-Qaeda and ISIS to make an inroad into Southern Nigeria and penetrate the north-western part of the country.
Mr Enenche, however, said the claim was nothing but just an alarm and that Nigeria security agencies were equal to the task, urging the public not to be afraid of such a claim. “When the conflict in Libya was declared ended and which actually was not, what happened? It was we, our NIA and the SSS that said these people were moving which is true.“Have we not captured foreigners that have been terrorising us in this country?
`I read the details of the presentation, it was not accusing, it was not specific, it is like saying you people should put efforts to continue to contain them.
