Fresh security concerns have emerged over the growing presence of Boko Haram factions and allied armed groups operating from the Kainji National Park axis, with military strategists warning that failure by the Federal Government to dismantle the terror enclave could see jihadist attacks spread to major cities in the South-West within months. Also, the governor of Kwara state Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq said senior security officers, including the General Officer Commanding of the Nigerian Army’s 2 Division and a Deputy Inspector-General of Police, are in the state to tackle the sutuation.
