The circular said an intelligence report at the disposal of the Inspector-General of Police had uncovered plans by Boko Haram terrorists to attack major cities in the country, particularly in Jos, Plateau, and the FCT, Abuja.
It said the proposed attacks would be coordinated by the duo of Muhammad Sani, a Boko Haram commander, domiciled in Sambisa Forest and his deputy, Suleiman, hibernating around Lawan Musa Zango, Gashua, Yobe State.
‘In light of the above, it is the directive of the Inspector-General of Police that you review your security architecture across all critical government infrastructures and police facilities in your jurisdiction with a view to checkmating the dastardly plans of these marauding terrorists,’ the IGP told the commissioners.
