DSS Raises Alarm Over ISWAP's Planned Attacks in Kogi and Ondo States
The Department of State Services (DSS) has raised alarm over the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) planning terrorist attacks in Kogi and Ondo states. A confidential memo dated October 20, 2025, revealed ISWAP's intentions to target specific areas in these states.
The DSS urged the military to increase security operations to thwart the impending attacks, citing previous incidents like the killing at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo. This development underscores the ongoing security challenges posed by terrorist groups in Nigeria, particularly in regions beyond the northeast.
President Buhari's administration faces the inherited issue of insurgency affecting food security and agriculture in the country.
