The Nigerian military has uncovered plans to attack on critical infrastructure in the country by unscrupulous elements.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba, disclosed this at a media briefing on Thursday in Abuja.
He said the appropriate agency responsible for the protection of the nation’s critical infrastructure had been alerted.
Buba noted that some of the plans had already been frustrated.
He said: “We are aware of some of the plans to target some critical infrastructure in the country. Accordingly, we have placed measures to forestall such plans.
“Security agencies responsible for securing critical infrastructure and facilities have also been placed on alert. Accordingly, some of such plans have been frustrated.”
However, the exact nature of the targeted infrastructure and the group behind the plot have not been made public.
