The Nigerian Army has warned
Nigerians, especially residents of Maiduguri to be wary of suicide bombers who
would disguise as beggars to cause mayhem.
In a press statement issued by
Colonel Mustapha Anka, the Media Coordinator of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, he said
attention “has been drawn to terrorists intention to use beggars to cause
mayhem, conceal explosive in bundles of firewood to be placed in crowded and
strategic areas within Maiduguri and environs.
“Additionally, the general
public should be wary of terrorists’ plan to deceive the populace by way of
shouting ‘Boko Haram’ to create panic in order to lure unsuspected members of
the public for maximum casualty during and after the new year celebrations.
“The command wishes to remind
the general public to be extra vigilant during and after the new year
celebrations as the ban on bangers and fire crackers is still in force.”
