The Kaduna State Government has advised residents to be vigilant of explosive devices planted by terrorists in various public places in the state.

The government gave the advice on Monday through a statement by the state commissioner for Internal Security and Homeland Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.

Aruwan in the statement explains that the alert was necessary following assessments carried out by security agencies, and the possibility of terrorists looking to harm citizens.

He added that the terrorists have discreetly placed explosives in public facilities such as schools, hospitals, hotels, bars, entertainment centres, restaurants, parks, major roads, and places of worship.

Aruwan also said that the State Government is calling on all advisory to citizens across the state to heighten their alertness to the threat of explosive devices planted in public places by terrorists.

According to him this follows sustained assessments by security agencies, and the possibility of terrorists looking to harm citizens, by discreetly placing explosives in public facilities such as schools, hospitals, hotels, bars, entertainment centres, restaurants, parks, major roads, and places of worship.

The statement reads in part, “Security agencies are working to ensure that no harm or destruction comes to residents and facilities.

Citizens are however urged to be alive to this threat and to remain watchful for suspicious persons loitering, or packages seemingly abandoned in strategic places.

“Increased general awareness is strongly advised, and frequent thorough checks of premises are recommended. Any suspicious person or object observed must be immediately reported to the nearest security formation. The Security Operations Room may also be contacted, on the lines 09034000060 and 08170189999.

Quarry operators are also advised to enhance security on their sites, and to ensure that explosive materials are not readily accessible to be carted away for criminal purposes. Sites will be inspected for compliance.

Close monitoring of the situation by security agencies will continue.
