ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – The Nigerian Military, in continuation with the sensitisation of our citizens on the devilish strategy of the terrorists, have warned members to be ware of the new tactics adopted by Boko Haram terrorists to papertrate their destradly acts of suicide bombings.
The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Defence Headquarters (DHQ, Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar in a statement on Thursday said that the military discovered that the Boko Haram terrorists are determined to continue letting off bombs and have resorted to masquerading as fruits and vegetable vendors wheeling Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) as groceries into crowded areas.
The terrorists, Abubakar said, now hide IEDs under vegetable wares in carts and wheelbarrows and move to crowded places where they detonate them for maximum casualties.
He said that the recent terrorists attack in the North East is a case in point.

“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,” he urged.
