The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has revealed the planned attacks by the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists on selected targets in Abuja and declaration of war against Christians in Nigeria.
The Islamic terrorists reportedly claimed that was why they attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre and released some of their fighters to sustain the attack.
NSCDC disclosed this in a letter issued by FCT Commandant, Peter Maigari with Ref: No; NSCDC/CMDT/FCT/INT/VOL.X/188 and addressed to the Permanent Secretary, Federal Capital Territory Administration .
The letter obtained by Leadership was dated July 8, 2022, and titled: “Security Alert: Renewed Threat Of Attack By ISWAP Terrorist On Targets within The FCT”.
The letter reads, “Certified intelligence reveals that members of the decimated terrorist group Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) have concluded plans to launch more coordinated and spontaneous attacks on selected targets within the federal Capital Territory (FCT) and had declared war against Christians in Nigeria.
“Intelligence abounds that ISWAP
terrorist group has claimed responsibilities of the Tuesday 5th
of July, 2022 attack on Kuje medium
security custodial centre, releasing
their adherent members.
“The foregoing is to enable them
hibernate in targeted communities (FCT) and re-strategize for further terrorist activities, especially on soft targets to keep the agenda of the group alive to the public.

dastardly act.
Recommendation: Against this backdrop, it is advised that counter measures be emplaced, and there is need to review existing security measures around such targets and other sensitive facilities with security formations, in FCT to frustrate the planned attack.
