Intelligence reports warn of plans by undesirable elements to infiltrate various parts of the country, particularly State capitals, including the Federal Capital Territory, with the view to perpetrate crimes such as abductions and kidnappings for ransom, or as means of getting recruits for terrorist activities.”Staff are therefore strongly advised to be extra careful as they go about their daily activities. Kindly observe the following: Maintain environmental awareness on your route to, and from work; Watch out for anything abnormal around your surroundings, avoid and report same immediately;

Limit social engagements as much as possible; and Avoid going out at night.”

They were also advised to avoid public drinking places and restaurants, especially after working hours; limit travels in-country as much as possible, whether by road or by air; keep to the main roads and avoid using deserted/lonely routes and dark alleys as well as routes where rallies or any form of mass gatherings are taking place amongst others

  14. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
    crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
