The Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, on Tuesday carried out a joint simulation exercise on counter terrorism with Nigeria Police Force in Abuja.
The exercise was designed to test the security forces' response to new strategies employed by insurgents to attack soft targets.
The Deputy Director, Presidential Communication, Command and Control Centre, ONSA, Mr. Shehu Saidu told a press briefing at the flag off of the exercise in Abuja that it is a simulation of a terrorist attack on soft targets using pyrotechnic Improvised Explosive Devices and blank ammunition to measure the response of all agencies involved in crisis management and counter-terrorism.
“You will recall that this is the new trend of terrorism worldwide. You saw it in France, Ouagadougou, Bamako and other places. This exercise is organized by the Office of the National Security Adviser to practice the synergy of effort between the security agencies and the cooperation therein expected of them during such crisis,” he said.
In a statement to Abuja residents, ONSA urged members of the public not to panic during the exercise.
The text message reads;
"Office of the NSA & Nigeria Police Force wish to notify Abuja residents of a training exercise on counter-terrorism crisis response at the International Conference Center at 9am on Tue 2 Feb 2016. Please exercise caution in the ICC area and do not panic."
