A trader, Emeka said they had got intelligence of a planned attack on the mall as far back April, shortly before the World Economic Forum.
He said the owner of the facility stepped up security around the area. He explained that the stepped up security was apparently responsible for the 'throw-in' style adopted by the bombers.
