EKO HOT BLOG reports that security operatives have averted what could have been the most devastating incident in the history of Nigeria, General Lucky Irabor revealed on Sunday.

The Chief of Defence Staff made the disclosure during his appearance on a Channels Television’s special progamme tagged ‘Democracy Day: Giving Hope To Nigerians’.

He stated that the catastrophe was averted in Kano State the same week gunmen opened fire on worshippers at a Catholic church in Owo – a town in Ondo State.

General Irabor stressed that the security situation in Nigeria has improved in the last one year, adding that the incident in Owo does not take away that fact.

“Perhaps, you may not know that just only the same week of the Owo incident, in Kano, for example, given the intelligence available to security agencies, we were able to botch what would have been the most catastrophic incident within our country,” General Irabor said.

Recounting how the process went, he explained, “In that operation, we recovered Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) making materials.

“We recovered a large quantum of arms and ammunition and other materials which, of course, the criminals were intending to use in various parts of the country, including Abuja. That the Owo incident happened does not imply that improvements have not happened.

“Let me state that this is a process, and if you could take a look at the war stage in countries around the world, you will find incidents of violence and criminality in one way or the other.”
