There are plans by terrorist groups, Al-Qaeda and ISIS to penetrate Southern Nigeria, the United States has warned the Nigerian government.

The US says the dreaded groups are looking to make an inroad into Southern Nigeria, this is just as It confirmed that Al-Qaeda has started penetrating the north-western part of the country. In a media briefing, Dagvin Anderson, Commander of the US special operations command, Africa, said AlQaeda is also expanding to other parts of West Africa.

According to report obtained from TheCable by Sunday Tribune, Anderson said the US will continue to partner with Nigeria in sharing intelligence “We have engaged with Nigeria and continue to engage with them in intel sharing and in understanding what these violent extremists are doing,” he said.

“And that has been absolutely critical to their engagements up in the Borno state and into an emerging area of northwest Nigeria that we’re seeing al-Qaeda starting to make some inroads in.

“So, this intelligence sharing is absolutely vital and we stay fully engaged with the government of Nigeria to provide them with an understanding of what these terrorists are doing, what Boko Haram is doing, what ISIS-West Africa is doing, and how ISIS and al-Qaeda are looking to expand further south into the littoral areas.

Anderson regretted that despite successes recorded in previous years, there has been a setback, adding: “We as a community of international nations, keep thinking we have defeated them or we have put them on their back foot and that they’re just moments from disintegration.” Anderson said for international efforts to yield desired results in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria, the government must take the lead.

“When it comes to Nigeria in general, Nigeria, obviously, is a critical nation to West Africa. It is a critical nation and we realise that Nigeria is a lynchpin,” he said.

With a Muslim Muslim presidential ticket... From APC to Tinubu and his running mate

It’s a win win for ISIS and Boko boys, they will just assume Nigeria is already an Islamic state.

God save your children... Christians should brace up and be ready to buy their praying kettle

We must do everything possible to stop them. Nigeria cannot afford to have terrorism getting a hold in the south.

Ordinary, the south is not a fertile ground for Islamic terrorism but with the recent wave of secessionist violence in the region, there is a crack in the wall that can be exploited. Hopefully, all our security and intelligence agencies will rise to the occasion.

If I said I'm not scared right now, I'd be lying. How authentic is this news pls?
Omo we don't have a good military that can defend us oo. If the military is struggling against just boko haram, what would happen if the ISIS joins and decides to stretch our military by coming to the south? It would only mean there would be two war fronts. One in the North and one in the south. If this news is authentic and from the USA, then I guess we're in serious danger. These guys must've seen that we southerners are rejoicing over the killing of their fellow terrorists on nairaland hence decided to come teach us a lesson embarassed embarassed. My hope is on God. He won't allow any evil to befall his children

Just the way they came in to rescue their own under the nose of Buhari, the US should just come in secretly and combat the terrorists if truly they believe that Nigeria is a lynchpin

If they are depending on Buhari, the terrorists will not only be successful and victorious, they will thrive!!!

I don talk my own

It is high time Muslims started asking themselves questions, like why fundamentalism is associated with Islam. Anywhere there is chaos and terror, there is sure to be an Islamic fundamentalist close by. Now, they are coming to the South to forment trouble (if this news is anything to go by. I'm not sure I trust 'Big Brother')

Because the mannequin in aso rock has always been giving terrorists soft landing, it will be easy for them to penetrate, but I think that will hasten the division of this forced marriage .

This is not the first time we are facing nepotism in Nigeria, the bokoharam is a terrorist organisation with international support.

I guess you are just following the world activities, the same propaganda was played in Iraq, Saddam Hussein was killed on false alarm, same thing happened in Libya, media propaganda was used to lure his people against Gaddafi. 9/11 that gave birth to today alqada or ISIS was an inside job.
