The Nation also reports that some restrictions were
imposed on Facebook networking by officers and
other ranks, plus the security staff was prevented
from taking annual leaves and from travelling out of
their official postings.
In general, all who were absent for some official
reason or meant to leave, were returned.
According to one of the sources, the mass red alert,
which is usually issued in case of potential security
risk, was aimed at eradicating "threats in the system".

The military source was quoted saying:
"The security challenges in the country require a
state of alertness on the part of officers and men in
the Armed Forces... We want everyone restricted to
his or her duty post and barracks to avert infiltration
by the insurgents. Some of these insurgents have
been trying to induce military men but they have
never succeeded."
It would be recalled that only last week the Nigerian
security claimed that
the dreaded sect might use
hijacked petrol tankers to bomb Abuja, which caused
panic among the country capital residents.
Regarding the Internet limitations, the source said
that in was a common practice in the world, because
criminals use network to learn more about their
"enemy".
