“Be extra careful when using a rented vehicle to stay safe and secure.

“Kindly observe the following: Maintain environmental awareness on your route to, and from work; watch out for anything abnormal around your surroundings, avoid and report same immediately, limit social engagements as much as possible and avoid going out at night.”

ECOWAS also advised staff to limit in-country travels as much as possible, whether by road or by air.

Take appropriate security measures when approaching a checkpoint.

“Be ready to take anti-ambush/counter surveillance measures always, and be vigilant at places of worship, markets, motor parks, filling stations, including shopping malls,” the commission added.

If u have family or friends in Abuja or Nassarawa, advise them to relocate to the south before it is too late.

The Jihadist terrorists are less than 2 from hours to Abuja, it is inevitable that they are already flooding into several villages they have captured in Niger state some days ago.

It is inevitable they will want lunch assualt into Abuja in the coming weeks since our security operatives have become helpless

This alert is unacceptable. It’s disrespectful to Nigeria as a sovereign state.

Nigeria will close ECOWAS office in Abuja with immediate effect. - Lie Mohamed.

ofcourse, considering the ease it took Boko Haram to establish stronghold in Niger state without a gun fired, Abuja peeps should be very scared

Abuja is more of a central point that would get them the attention they want

Zuba, and it's environs should be at alert because the rich men areas would be tighter

It's unfortunate what the terrorism of Islam has done to this country


The other day USA called for vigilance

Yesterday it was cbn that called for vigilance

Today it is Ecowas

Tomorrow we don't know who next


Yet those who supposedly have level like CBN are crying helplessly like already programmed slaughter lambs
