Femi Fani-Kayode, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has warned that Nigerian border states may be exposed to terrorist attacks.
Sokoto and Lagos states, according to Fani-Kayode, might be exposed to ISIS and ISWAP terrorist strikes if Niger Republic and its allies open their pathways to the terrorists.
He warned that some of these terrorists have penetrated Niger State and other Southwest states.
Tweeting, Fani-Kayode wrote: “If Niger Republic and her allies deliberately open a corridor for the elements of ISIS, AQIM, ISWAP etc to move into Benin and Togo, ECOWAS’ weakest link, then the whole of Nigeria’s western borders, from Sokoto to Lagos, would be vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
“Already some of the elements have penetrated into Niger State, around Borgu and Shiriro, very close to Benin Republic and some states in the South West of Nigeria.”
