The official confirmed that the State Security Service, as well as military and police formations in Kaduna State, had received intelligence concerning the arrival of the terrorists and their motive to carry out bombings.

“I can confirm to you that we are in receipt of intelligence that Boko Haram terrorists have entered Kaduna and ready to commence operations.  Last night attack is a pointer to the fact and we will not reveal our strategies, rather [we are] on red alert too to contain them.”

He added that the confessions of the sect members currently under interrogation in Abuja are another indication that cannot be taken for granted.  One has confessed that in Kaduna town they have spies that are working as commercial motorcycle operators and orange sellers, while others pose as scavengers.
