operation-yakiThe Kaduna State Security outfit, code-named Operation Yaki, on Wednesday said intelligence reports indicated a plot by terror group ‘SaraSuka’ or ‘Masu-Shara’, to attack the state on Sallah day.

The Coordinator of Operation Yaki, Col. Yakubu Yusuf (retd.), who raised the alarm, said security operatives had already been placed on standby, warning residents to be vigilant during the period.
He also cautioned residents against accommodating or harbouring strange fellows as the Boko Haram terror group had changed its mode of attacks.

Specifically, the retired army officer urged parents to guard their children against being ready recruits for the Boko Haram sect.

“Intelligent report revealed that Boko Haram is devising new tactics in carrying out its nefarious activities by way of using unsuspected members of the public, especially children and young girls wearing hijab. Other tactics suspected to be devised by the group is the use of animals; hence the need to enlighten the general public to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious persons to the security agencies immediately for prompt action”, Yusuf said in a statement by his Special Assistant, Isa Adamu, in Kaduna.

Yusuf, who urged security agencies to change their modes of operation in the current war against terrorists, said places mapped out for possible attacks by the terror groups were worship places, recreation centres, parks as well as highways.
The coordinated pointed out that security operatives were being tasked to be more proactive in the areas mapped out by the terror gangs for the attacks.
