The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has
disrupted a spying network said to have been mounted by Boko Haram terrorists
at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
A 14-year-old boy, Sulaiymon Abdulraman was apprehended
with the help of the aviation security officials at the airport.
On interrogation ,
Abdulraman said he and others, recruited by the terrorist group
infiltrated the airport with the assistance of Dauda Sadiq who is at large.
He was to pass on "information in respect of
travelers’ movement including passenger screening, boarding procedures and
other processes in the departure and arrival halls," DSS spokesman Tony Opuiyo
said in the statement.
The DSS said its
officers are working closely with major aviation stakeholders especially the
aviation security department to forestall any possible attack and to ensure
adequate security at the airports.
Members of the
public have been asked to remain vigilant and report all issues and persons of
suspicion to the nearest security agency.
