Boko Haram terrorists have devised new tactics to unleash terror in the No rth-east region of the country, They are now “disguising as lunatics” to attack soft targets with their Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the region.
Their new strategy was contained in a statement signed by the Acting Director of Defense Information, Col. Rabe Abubakar, yesterday.
The statement reads in part: “It has come to the notice of the Defence Headquarters that Boko Haram, in their desperation to cause colossal havoc, have now devise a new method, where they dress like mad persons to gain unsuspecting access to public areas to detonate bombs.The two male suicide bombers who dressed like mad women and carried out suicide bomb attack in Gombi, Adamawa State, is instructive in this direction. Five people lost their lives and several others were wounded in the heinous attack by these ungodly people.”
Abubakar, in the statement, also urged citizens across the country to be wary of mad persons approaching markets, public places or crowded areas so as to nip any attack in the bud.
“Nigerians are also enjoined to be security conscious at all times and should endeavour to report any suspicious person or object to security agencies for prompt action,” he said.
