Terrorists now hide bombs among vegetables —Military
The military has alerted Nigerians on the new strategy by
Boko Haram terrorists to cause havoc among the populace by masquerading
as fruits and vegetable vendors, wheeling Improvised Explosive Devices
(IEDs) as groceries into crowded areas.
In a statement issued, yesterday, and signed by the Acting Director
of Defence Information, Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar, the military
said: “The terrorists now hide IEDs under vegetable wares in carts and
wheelbarrows and move to crowded places where they detonate them for
maximum casualties. The recent terrorists attack in the North-East is a
case in point.
“Having been effectively dislodged and decimated, the Boko Haram
terror group has commenced some systematic isolated attacks mainly on
soft targets in their desperation to remain relevant.
“The Defence Headquarters hereby advises the general public to
constantly be alert to this latest terrorist tactics and to report
promptly any suspicious persons or objects to the nearest security
agency.”
“While commending the general public and the media for their
continuous support so far, all citizens are once again reminded that
security is everybody’s concern therefore, they should join hands with
the security agencies to eliminate the remnant of the terrorists.
