It
has come to the knowledge of the Defence Headquarters that Boko Haram
terrorists have now devised other means of inflicting harm on innocent
citizens to further their terrorist cause.
Some
of such tactics they now use include crying and feigning pains and
shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting public. When a lot of
people of goodwill gather to render help in the process, the suicide
bomber detonates bombs which they conceal under their clothes. The
recent suicide bombing in Damaturu is instructive.
Similarly,
suicide bombers used monetary incentives and other inducements
especially in crowded places to lure innocent citizens in order to cause
colossal damage to both lives and property. Yola suicide incident is
fresh in our memory.
The
Defence Headquarters therefore advises citizens to be wary of such
antics of the terrorists who are losing out in their former enclaves and
are now desperate to remain relevant by using any means to perpetuate
fear in the minds of the populace.
The
Defence Headquarters also warns citizens to be extra vigilant and weary
of terrorist malevolence in such places as parks, worship centres and
recreation spots particularly in this festive period. Citizens are
advised to report suspicious persons or objects to security agencies for
prompt action.
