Dr. Ona Ekhomu, a security expert has warned that ISIS may soon attack Nigeria.
Speaking to PUNCH, Dr Ekhomu advised the government to enlist the services of citizens in the war against terror to forestall a case of multiple terror attacks like it happened in Paris, France, recently.
He said, ''ISIS could use its Nigerian affiliate, Boko Haram, to wreak havoc here in order to signal its capability to carry out worldwide terrorist attacks and add to its stocks of fear. Having millions of Nigerians on the lookout for terrorists, reporting suspicious activities to the authorities, is better than 400,000 police and military personnel searching for terrorists.
''With proper enrollment, citizens can become the arrow-head in the search for terrorists as citizens are everywhere. With trained eyes, they can recognise Terrorist Attack Pre-incident Indicators in order to spot suicide bombers, bomb planters and active-shooters''.
