Nigeria's intelligence agency says it foiled plans to attack Abuja's administrative heart just days before last week's deadly car bombings.
The State Security Service said plotters had planned to detonate at least six car bombs in an area near the presidential palace on 29 September.
At least 12 people were killed in Friday's attacks in Abuja, as Nigeria marked 50 years of independence.
Militant Henry Okah has been charged in South Africa over the attack.
