The Executive Director of a foreign organisation known as Equipping the Persecuted, Mr Judd Saul, has alerted Nigerian Security agencies of impending attacks in Taraba State and Southern Kaduna.
According to Saul, Fulani militia have been sighted gathering and preparing for a major assault.
Saul stated: “We have critical information of an upcoming attack in Taraba State and Kaduna State (Southern Kaduna). Fulani militia have been sighted gathering and preparing for a major attack. An imminent attack is expected in Taraba around March 23rd, with reports of drones and machine guns present. In Southern Kaduna, large convoys and motorcycles have also been spotted. We urgently call on the Nigerian Armed Forces and the Nigerian Police Force to be deployed immediately.”
The warning, shared publicly on social media, has triggered widespread reactions from Nigerians online, reflecting both fear and frustration over the country’s security situation.
Worldwide (@Larrydan287) expressed scepticism, saying he could bet nothing would be done by the Nigerian government and urged communities to protect themselves.
Rekt_Farm (@Farmbook00) cried out in despair, asking who would defend them. Urbanfits🇳🇬 (@urbanchic9ja) noted the specificity of the warning, date, location, and weapons and questioned why warnings are never enough when attacks occur.
Samcherish (@Samcherish2) argued the information should have been classified and directed to the Nigerian Air Force rather than shared online.
Abolaji Ajanaku 🇳🇬 (@real_FBA) pointed out that the information had circulated all day and tagged security agencies, warning that if the attack happens, it proves government’s awareness of insecurity.
Harriet Gal (@HarrietGal) predicted propaganda would be used to divert attention. Senator Jibril (@jbcul4ril) criticised US intelligence, questioning why an NGO worker was the one revealing such information.
Rising Sun (@Patientbird112) asked bluntly what US soldiers in Nigeria were doing.
Others urged caution. Only-one-opizzy (@DelegsT) advised the armed forces to verify the intel, warning it could be an ambush.
Green Attitude (@skinnieboi10) lamented that despite US training support, attacks were becoming more tactical and violent.
Nobody’s Child (@Boug1_) accused the ruling APC of inaction, saying they would only respond after tragedy. Stephen Afulukwe (@ezestc) went further, suggesting Nigeria needed external intervention and even division to save lives.
MasterMind (@solex54) accused the army of double standards, noting how IPOB members are targeted for carrying machetes while Fulani terrorists reportedly wield guns and drones unchecked.
Godsway Is The Only Way (@GodswayChika) claimed Nigeria’s insecurity was by design, describing it as a British-controlled money laundering operation.
Oracle Entertainment (@aniobum77) called on nearby villages to hold strong. Osondu Chinaemerem (@chinaemere61124) warned that the DSS and army would act unaware until tragedy struck, accusing some of benefiting from insecurity while ancestral lands are gradually lost. #Securitynewsalert.com
