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.
