The Nigeria army has alerted citizens that the insurgent terrorist
group, Boko Haram has devised a new tactic to infiltrate the North-east
to carry out bomb attacks. Following Friday’s bomb blast at Gombi market, Adamawa, the army has
revealed that the insurgents now disguise people as ‘mad men’ to carry
out attacks.
This was disclosed in a statement released on Saturday, by the Acting
Director of Defence Information, Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar.
“It has come to the notice of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) that
Boko Haram members, in their desperation to cause colossal havoc, have
now devised a new method where they dress like mad persons to gain
unsuspecting access to public areas to detonate bombs.
“The 2 male suicide bombers, 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.
“The Defence Headquarters therefore urges our fellow good citizens
across the country to be wary of mad persons approaching markets, public
places or crowded areas so as to nip this ugly trend in the bud.
“Nigerians are also enjoined to be security-conscious at all times
and should endeavor to report any suspicious person or object to
security agencies for prompt action,” the statement said.
