DSS alerts Sokoto as terrorists target tertiary institutions

The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the Sokoto State government to a potential security threat targeting tertiary institutions in the state. According to the DSS, terrorists and bandit groups are planning to attack and carry out kidnappings at universities and other tertiary institutions.

The DSS warned that these institutions may be targeted due to the large concentration of students, academic and non-academic staff, and their family members, which could lead to abductions. The attacks could disrupt academic activities and create fear among students and staff.

The DSS has urged the Sokoto State Government to strengthen security measures around tertiary institutions and has alerted relevant security agencies to deploy measures to prevent possible attacks and protect students, staff, and educational infrastructure, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.
