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.
“The group has also advised members of the public to store enough food items and other routine household requirements as they believe that the JTF will impose curfew on Maiduguri in the event of breakdown of law and order.”
The JTF advised residents of Borno State to report suspicious persons and activities.
