Nigeria’s security agencies have intensified efforts on their vigilance due to potential threats from the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), only 12 days following aAA devastating suicide bombing in Gwoza, Borno State, which resulted in at least 20 fatalities.
The suicide bombings were linked to a faction of Boko Haram, from which ISWAP has splintered.
The Nigerian government has discreetly instructed all relevant security bodies to brace for possible attacks.
According to Premium Times, an intelligence memo dated July 10th suggests ISWAP’s plan might include targets such as prisons and key oil and gas infrastructure.
Detailed in the memo, high-risk targets include notable correctional facilities like Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, Kaduna Central Prison, Port Harcourt Maximum Prison, and Kirikiri Correctional Center in Lagos.
The Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) pipeline, a significant gas transportation project managed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), is also at risk.
