The Federal Government restated that it would check the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East and secure the area for the forthcoming general election.

Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, gave the assurance while giving an update on the security situation in the North-East.

Mr Omeri, who disclosed that available intelligence indicated that recruits of the sect were moving into training camps in Borno, urged the people to be vigilant.

He said the recruits were moving from “such locations as Geidam, Mairi and Dupcha (all in Borno) to training camps within the general area.”

The coordinator recalled that the sect had referred to the movement recently and boasted that it had between 30,000 and 50,000 strong force to disrupt the forthcoming elections in Maiduguri.
