Breaking: Nigerian Army Takes Action On Possible Terror Attacks In Abuja
Following warnings of impending terror attacks in Abuja, the Nigerian Army has shared phone numbers on Special Call Centers for citizens to report information on security threats.
The Army took the decision following the travel advisories released by some foreign countries on threats of terrorist attacks in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and some high-risk states.
The US Embassy had in a statement last Sunday announced that it would offer reduced services until further notice and urged American citizens to avoid non-essential movements.
Also, in an advisory issued on the same Sunday by its Embassy in Abuja, the United Kingdom advised its citizens in Nigeria to stay alert and consider their movements carefully.
On its part, the Australian government on Wednesday advised its citizens to reconsider the need to travel to Nigeria.
Denmark, Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland and Canadian authorities also issued separate security alerts, asking their citizens in the country to stay alert and refrain from visiting and doing certain things.
In a tweet via his verified Twitter page on Friday, the Army released some numbers to the citizens, saying that the numbers would help its officers to quickly respond to any security threat in any part of the country.
It advised citizens to dial the short code 193 or call the following emergency lines: 07017222225, 09060005290,08099900131, 08077444303.
The tweet reads: “Kindly report any information that would aid the Nigerian army in combating insecurity via phone call, SMS, or WhatsApp to the following numbers.”
