*Fears of invasion of schools, estates, VIP abductions heighten

Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is increasingly under the grips of Boko Haram, Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Ansaru terrorists as they are relocating their camps along the Karshai Hills, putting fears of attacks on schools and residents towards abducting students and residents.

This is coming with the convergence of these terrorists and easy attack and sacking of the Kuje prison and release of 69 incarcerated comrades in terrorism.

Sources said that intelligence received in the first week of July indicated the sighting the influx of unknown persons over time around the Karshi Hills and they clandestinely go up the hills to observe the surrounding areas especially around the Navy Town Estate.

Their movements and activities, the source noted, “is raising high suspicion that the invaders are massing up in camps within the hills which also connect to other adjoining forests within the FCT and Nassarawa State.”

This has raised fears of the terrorists attacking adjourning educational and residential estates, thus putting the Federal Science and Technical College, Orozo, Nigerian Navy Estate Karshi, Government Secondary School, Karshi Abuja and University of Abuja students’ hostel along Giri Road at risk.

Others feared at risk of terrorists’ attacks along the axis include Karshi Hills 1, Karshi Water Falls and General Hills behind (West) of Navy Estate to Karshi Water Fall and environs.

People have been living generally in fear as they received text messages about the attack on the schools and estates. But security has been beefed up in their estates and the surrounding areas with thorough searches conducted on vehicles, tricycles and visitors.

Towards this, the military are being deployed in and around the FCT while operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have been patrolling the villages of Abuja on motor bikes and carrying out surveillance in virtually all the communities in the FCT.
