Nigeria security services foil Boko Haram terror plot to attack Lagos

Security analysts said at the time the Lagos bombing was likely to have been carried out by a small group of Boko Haram sympathizers, with no direct link to the group’s high command.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who was elected in May on a promise of crushing Boko Haram, has given his military commanders until the end of the year to bring the disturbances to a close. That has led to a slew of announcements, particularly from the military, about progress in the counterinsurgency.

But at the same time suicide attacks and bombings against “soft” civilian targets have continued.
