The plan by a band of terrorists who relocated to Niger Republic to remobilize and rearm insurgents with the aim of carrying out fresh terrorists attacks on some Nigerian communities has been foiled.

The leader of the group who had fled Nigeria when the terrorist camps were sacked was reportedly recruiting fresh hands and training them for renewed terrorist activities in Nigeria.   The intention of the group was to focus its attacks on some towns around the Nigeria-Niger Republic border.  Reports had it that this has been foiled by combined forces of Nigerien and Nigerian forces.

Intelligence operatives of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) had been on the trail of the leader until he was eventually arrested in Karanga, Niger Republic on Saturday with the cooperation of Nigerien forces.  His other accomplices were later picked up in other villages in Nigeria.  They are currently being interrogated.

Terrorism is surely something that should be taken serious in this country so steps must be taken to eradicate it.
