The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has been drawn to a
new tactic being adopted by female suicide bombers in the North East.
The female suicide bombers now evade
detection from security operatives by carrying babies on their back, which
ordinarily passes them for innocent nursing mothers.
The two recent suicide bomb attacks
in Madagali, Adamawa State are instructive in this regard.
Statement released by the Acting
Director, Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar “The DHQ
wishes to seize this opportunity to appeal to members of the public to be
patient and cooperate with the military and other security agencies, while
carrying out thorough security search and checks as the essence is to
reduce the murderous intention of the Boko Haram suicide bombers.
We also wish to further state that
the usual traffic “go-slow” at military and security check points as a result
of rigorous security checks, are not meant to cause public discomfort or a
deliberate action to induce traffic disruptions on our roads.
Efforts have been put in place
towards protecting the lives and properties of our innocent citizens
The Army also urged the public
to always volunteer useful information to the military and other security agencies
that would assist in exposing Boko Haram and their evil machinations in
the society, which will make communities safe and secure for all to live.
