Abstract
Protecting Nigerians from terrorist threat should be paramount and of higher priority to all security and safety community. The counter terrorism personnel should focus on the following goals:
1. Prevention of terrorist attacks;
2. Prevention of the unauthorized acquisition, importation, movement or use of chemical, biological and nuclear materials;
3. Crime prevention within the country;
4. Reduction of vulnerability of critical infrastructure;
5. Promotion of key resources essential for the training of personnel to combat attacks and other hazards.
Terrorist attacks in Nigeria are real and constitutes serious danger and threat to the society. The terrorist incidents in Nigeria indicate that terrorists continue to target crowded places, largely because they are usually locations with limited protection with inadequate security measures and therefore afford the potential for mass fatalities and casualties. Agro-terrorism and bio-terrorism are areas of interest to terrorists these days. Furthermore, terrorists are prepared to use vehicles as a method of delivery and attack on sites well away. Terrorists may also seek to send chemical, biological or radiological materials in the post.
