The authorities should take the warning by the US commander seriously
Barely Eight months ago, Dagvin Anderson, Commander of the United States special operations command in Africa, warned that ISIS and Al- Qaeda are gradually making a foothold in Nigeria. Last week Anderson repeated the warning about the two notorious global terror networks. “So, this intelligence sharing is absolutely vital and we stay fully engaged with the government of Nigeria to provide them with an understanding of what these terrorists are doing, what Boko Haram is doing, what ISIS-West Africa is doing, and how ISIS and al-Qaeda are looking to expand further south into the littoral areas,” said Anderson.
