He said “Three weeks back, the NSA was clearly told of these illicit activities and he promised to do something but nothing was done until last Sunday suicide attack in Ray Field. The IEDs materials incepted in Gombe-Bauchi Road was also heading to Jos-Kafanchan. This is the true intelligence report of the interception.”
“We have been submitting report upon reports but nothing has been done to this situation. The areas are just thick forest and non police areas, sect members are meeting and organizing there. From Toro in Bauchi, Lere in Kaduna and Manchok in Kaduna they sneaked to arrive in their new concentrated camps. The areas are just isolated areas and complete grazing routes. They assembled all their bombs and orientate their suicide bombers from there on ward to inside Jos.I can tell you if prompt action is not taking, they will now extend to Kafanchan, or Kachia and even find way to parts of Abuja and Nasarawa.”
The source added that Zaria, in Kaduna State is potential target of the sect because they have hideouts in some villages that were licked out and they are alleging local traditional rulers of exposing them. “Some of the traditional rulers have reached our top boss with the matter, and I don’t the action being taking.”
