“More worrisome, the intelligence report also reveals that suspected ISIS operatives have already positioned themselves in Niger State via Ìbàrùbáland and are now within the Òkè-ògùn corridor of Ọ̀yọ́ State. Indeed, the intel also reveals that about 500 power bikes and assorted ammunition belonging to the terrorists have been physically sighted along the abandoned Lusada route moving towards Sokoto, from Igbó-ọrà in Ọ̀yọ́ State.”

Similarly, the council urged the Federal Government to take urgent steps to tighten Nigeria’s borders, especially the lengthy and porous borders with northern West African neighbours with a view to stopping the illegal entry of killer herdsmen and other criminals into the country.
