The Defence Headquarters has said stories making the rounds that terrorist Boko Haram sect now has sleeper cells in Nigeria’s South West States pending a bloody activation, are untrue and wide of the mark.
Since 2009, Boko Haram has restricted its murderous campaign to the country’s North and middle belt regions amid speculations that Lagos–the country’s commercial capital–and other States in the South West, were next in line for the dastardly sect.
But in a statement, Colonel Rabe Abubakar, Acting Director of Defence Information, said, “The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to a story published by a section of the media claiming impending attacks by Boko Haram terrorists in some south western states of the country.
“This story is not only baseless but also lacks substance in its entirety, hence should be disregarded. More worrisome is the claim that the terrorists have infiltrated the western states.
“The military and other security agencies have made tremendous successes in degrading and decimating the terrorists who are now in disarray having lost their center of gravity, camps and their source of logistics”, said Abubakar.
