Army reacts to ‘circular’ on planned Boko Haram attacks in FCT, seven states

The Nigerian Army has debunked the circular warning of imminent Boko Haram attacks on various locations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and seven other states in the country.
The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, yesterday called on members of the public to disregard the circular said to have emanated from the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) office.
The circular titled: ‘Plans By Boko Haram Terrorists Group to Attack In FCT and Other Parts of the Country, was allegedly signed by one Colonel A. Suleiman on behalf of the army chief, warned that terrorists “intend to target police stations and formations in Abuja, Kano and Imo States.”
Part of the circular read: “Information at the disposal of this headquarters strongly point to plans by Boko Haram terrorists group to attack various locations in the country. The targeted areas include but not limited to police stations, prison facilities, schools and market places.
