A statement by the state commissioner for information and communications, Aniekan Umanah said, these threat text messages are usually targeted at churches, markets, schools and other public places.
Umanah advised members of the public to be security conscious and be extra vigilant by promptly reporting suspicious movements of strange elements and other actions that constitute security threats to security personnel for immediate action.
The commissioner assured indigenes and residents of Akwa Ibom State of their safety as the government has directed security agencies to step up surveillance towards not only tackling the threat but to also ensure the safety and security of lives and property, including sensitive and important installations in the state.
