Abubakar added that the army in recent operations in the North-East had degraded the terrorists, emphasizing that it was not realizable for the insurgents to arrange attacks in any part of the country.
According to him the Armed Forces are appealing to the good residents of Nigeria especially in the west not to lose sleep over the baseless and fabricated reports and to go about their businesses.
“The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to the above caption published by some section of the media claiming impending attacks by Boko Haram terrorists in some south western states of the country,” Abubakar stated.
“This story is not only baseless but lacks substance in its entirety, hence should be disregarded.
“Of more worrisome is the claim that the terrorists have infiltrated the western states.
