The Theatre Commander , Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Olusegun Gabriel  Adeniyi, said at a press briefing, Monday,that his men have taken frantic measures to address the heightening security tension in the area.


Adeniyi added, that the Nigerian Army is  fully aware of the situation on ground and  already, the theater command is working assiduously to curtail the situation.
He however said,”  the command knows the  reasons for the attacks; how the Boko Haram carry out their attacks; their plans and what people should also do.”


The Theater Command further explained that motorists  should not stop at any check point except those officially designated at certain locations along the highway, noting  that,  the only official checkpoints are located  at Benisheikh, Jakana, Auno, Mainok and Njimtilo towns and villages along the highway.
According to him, all the checkpoints are located in towns, stressing that, travellers along the route  should be cautioned  of fake and illegal  checkpoints  in wastelands and empty bushes while the response squad team are on patrol along the highway.
