DSS Warns of Planned Terrorist, Bandit Attacks on Sokoto Tertiary Institutions
The DSS said criminal groups are shifting from schools to universities and other tertiary institutions, warning of possible abductions and disrupted classes.
- The DSS Sokoto State Command issued a security alert on July 18, 2026, warning of plans by Terrorist and Bandit Gangs to attack Tertiary Institutions across the state. State Director of Security Abdulaziz signed the letter sent to the Sokoto State Government.
- Criminal groups are shifting their focus from primary schools to Tertiary Institutions, according to intelligence gathered by The Service. In an alert titled "Planned Attack on Tertiary Institutions by Terrorist and Bandit Gangs," The Service warned the emerging threat could have devastating consequences for the education sector.
- The concentration of students, academic staff, and their families at Tertiary Institutions makes these locations primary targets for abductions, Abdulaziz noted. This vulnerability supports criminal efforts to cripple educational activities and create widespread fear among communities.
- Urgent, coordinated action is required from the Sokoto State Government to strengthen security around Tertiary Institutions, The Command urged. Stakeholders must implement surveillance upgrades, access control measures, and rapid-response mechanisms to prevent criminal operations.
- The Service warned that successful attacks on Tertiary Institutions could inflict serious damage on Nigeria's international image while deepening existing insecurity. Persistent security challenges in the region continue to threaten vulnerable communities and educational infrastructure.
