A week back after about 100 people lost their lives in the blasts suspected to have been perpetrated by the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram in Damaturu, Yobe State and Borno State, federal government establishments, including the Force Headquarters in Abuja were yesterday tightly secured by security operatives.
Super armed security personnel were seen diverting all vehicles
away from the Force Headquarters and other key building in the Federal
Capital environment .
Today checks revealed that some Boko Haram members had on Thursday
night sent a warning letter to the Police, threatening to bomb the Force
Headquarters, as well as federal government establishments in Abuja and
its environs. Security operatives in large number, especially Anti-Bomb
Squad team were seen all over key offices and government establishment
in Abuja, diverting all vehicles from the front of the buildings as far
as two kilometres away from those buildings.
And vehicles were not allowed to park near those buildings, while
workers and visitors to the buildings were subjected to intense
screening before allowed in.
After visited some of the establishments, it was like the
proverbial camel passing through the eye of a needle. At a point, the
security checks at the entrance to most of the buildings became
unbearable.
