John Enenche, DHQ spokesman, said this in an internal memo, a report said.

He said the nation’s armed forces have been placed on red alert to combat any crime after the Customs warned of impending attacks on Kogi, Abuja and Nasarawa.

“The Defence Headquarters wish to reassure residents of FCT and other adjoining States that the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies have been on red alert to combat crime and ensure effective surveillance of the Federal Capital Territory and other States of the country.

“The Armed Forces of Nigeria working together with other security and response agencies particularly the core intelligence agencies hereby assure the general public that preventive and preemptive intelligence are ongoing. The general public is thus advised to go about their lawful businesses undeterred.
