The National Orientation Agency has called on residents of Kwara State to be on security alert more than ever in the wake of the dislodgment of Boko Haram insurgents from Sambisa forest.
The acting Director of the agency in Kwara State, Olusegun Adeyemi, made the call in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Monday.
He said that the call became necessary due to the reports that the dislodged insurgents were making attempts to infiltrate public and private places across the country.
Adeyemi noted that some of these insurgents, who escaped being killed or arrested by the Military, were making efforts to wreak havoc in churches, mosques and markets, among other public places.
The director, therefore, enjoined landlords, transporters, community associations, traditional rulers and all citizens to be more careful, vigilant of people around and report suspicious movements and objects to security agencies.
Adeyemi said: “Security is everyone’s business.”
