Updates recently reported that the Nigerian authorities have been alerted by
the US that the Al-Qaeda terrorist group and ISIS have started penetrating the
country.
In
regards to this report, Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna lawmaker has urged the
Nigerian government to take seriously the alert by the United States of
infiltration by the Al-Qaeda terrorist group into the country.
The
Commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, Africa, Dagvin Anderson, made
this known during a press briefing, adding that they are also expanding to
other parts of West Africa.
Some
Nigerians have since taken to their social media pages expressing fear over the
alert in the midst of the fight against Boko Haram and insecurity concerns in
the country.
Sani,
reacting to the alert on Thursday, said the US needs to sincerely support
Nigeria to end the terrorist activities in the country.
On
his Twitter page, the former lawmaker wrote: “The US intelligence report on the
infiltration of the Northwest by terror groups is appreciated and should be
taken seriously.
But
the most important thing is wholeheartedly and sincerely supporting us to end
their atrocious and cruel activities in our lands.
