Despite government efforts, it seems the boko haram terrorist group is becoming even more daring. PUNCH reported that the boko haram terrorists wrote a letter to the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army threatening to attack Maimalari Barracks on Friday (today).
The Maimalari Barracks contains the Headquarters of the 7th Infantry Division of the Artillery Corps, the Ordinance, the Signal and other crucial units of the Army in Maiduguri.
The letter was reportedly written in Hausa.
An anonymous army source who spoke to PUNCH confirmed the letter saying, "Yesterday, the Boko Haram sect wrote that they would attack the Maimalari Barracks. They wrote the letter in Hausa Language to give the notification of their coming.
"However, security operatives are praying for them to come to the barracks. The barracks is the biggest; it is the cantonment in Maiduguri. The barracks accommodates, the 7th Infantry Division, the Artillery, Ordinance, Engineering, Signal and other corps.
"People are even surprised how they got the letter to the barracks; one cannot rule out intimidation of one of the drivers to get the letter to the barracks. Soldiers are on the red alert. There are many soldiers there who are waiting for the attack. Soldiers are battle ready", the source said.
Proper army channels are yet to confirm the threat.
