The Nigerian government has taken action in reaction to the latest threat against Abuja issued by Abubakar Shekau in his latest video.
According to Daily Independent, the recent clamp down on hawkers, beggars and other miscreants at busy bus stops and hubs in Abuja was to forestall any attack on the area by the Boko Haram kingpin.
The recent clampdown became more heavy handed last week around Wuse Area and is expected to continue around areas like Gwarimpa and other adjoining places.
Reports say those arrested in the raid not only had their wares confiscated, but were also charged to court and fined heavily with those unable to pay remanded in prison custody.
“We are working under the assumption that Boko Haram must have deployed into Abuja before making that open threat on video,” a senior police officer who was part of the task force on the raid said.
