The Department of State Services (DSS) on Sunday issued an alert over planned attacks by insurgents on Ogun border communities and other border communities in Nigeria.
In a leaked letter signed by the State Director of Security, Ogun State Command, M.B. Abdullahi which was obtained by Africa Daily News, New York, the DSS warned that it has intelligence that the insurgent is plotting to attack military bases in border towns.
The DSS also advised customs and other security agencies in the country to put counter-measures in place to frustrate the plot by the insurgents.

‘In view of the foregoing and the likelihood such attacks not limited to the military personnel only, all law enforcement and security agencies with operational bases at border communities are advised to take note of the above threat and emplace countermeasures with emphasis on personal security of operatives to frustrate the planned attack.’
Africa Daily News, New York reports that this is coming barely a few days after a Federal High Court in Abuja declared bandits anywhere in the country as terrorists.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo made the declaration in Abuja, saying that groups, such as Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda should be declared terrorists.
