AN alleged plot by the terrorist group, Boko Haram, to
invade Lagos in vehicles painted with military colours has been uncovered by
security operatives.The military authorities said that
the group planned to attack Lagos with weapons in vehicles used by
senior military officers painted with the colours of the Army, Navy or Air
Force.
This intelligence
has made military authorities to order soldiers and naval ratings to thoroughly
search vehicles painted with military colours, including those belonging to
generals. A source said: “No
officer’s car painted with military colours is left out in this regard.” Some months ago, a
terrorist group allegedly conveyed weapons to Lagos inside some of the numerous
fuel tankers that ply major roads to the country’s former capital and indeed
the nation’s commercial nerve centre. It was learnt then
that indeed the federal and Lagos authorities were quite startled that the
masterminds of the planned terror act could pile up weapons of mass destruction
in the state, generally considered the safest haven for investment at the
moment in the country.
