Yeah We all should  be baware from Boko Haram. They are always very dangerous. I guess they are really planning attacks in Abuja, Nigeria, including all the public places & hotels frequently visited by Westerners.  We will have to maintain a high state of vigilance and personal security awareness. Thanks for sharing the information.
