There is alarm in Kaduna State as the Department of State Security (DSS) has asked security agencies in the State to “step up surveillance and intelligence gathering” as Boko Haram leaders and their foot soldiers have relocated from their base in Sambisa Forest to Southern Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria.
In a memo on the relocation, the Boko Haram terrorists have taken refuge and base from Borno State to the Rijana Forest in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Specifically, the memo confirming the relocation by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) stated that a “senior Boko Haram fighter, Ibrahim (FNU) alongside his foot soldiers” were relocating to join their counterpart “under the leadership of one Adamu Yunusu (aka Saddiqu).”
The DSS therefore ordered the NSCDC, just like the other security agencies, to increase security measures in the “aforementioned areas and envions,” and that operatives of the corps “should be placed on alert and report accordingly.”
According to the memo, the NSCDC has been “directed to step up surveillance and intelligence gathering on the aforementioned areas and environs.”
