The Joint Task Force in Borno State has said that dreaded sect, Boko Haram, working in concert with some foreign mercenaries plans to launch attacks during the Sallah holiday.
The JTF, in a statement by its spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, said the attack will target both the military and civilians.
Musa said in the statement: “Information available to the Joint Task force, Operation Restore Order, indicates that the Boko Haram terrorists are planning massive attacks on military and civilian targets during Eid el Kabir Sallah period.
“Consequently, the terrorists group has invited foreign mercenaries to assist them in launching the attacks.
