The
Defence Headquarters says female suicide bombers in the North East are now
evading detection from security operatives by carrying babies on their back,
that ordinarily passes them for innocent nursing mothers.
The
Acting Director Defence information, Brig.- Gen. Rabe Abubakar, said in a
statement in Abuja on Friday that the attention of the DHQ had been drawn to
the new tactic.Abubakar said the method was being adopted by female suicide
bombers in the North East.
According
to him, the two recent suicide bomb attacks in Madagali, Adamawa State are
instructive in this regard.
“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 nip in the bud the murderous intention
of the Boko Haram suicide bombers.
“The DHQ wishes to state further 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, but an effort put
in place towards protecting the lives and properties of our innocent citizens.
“Members of the public are, therefore,
urged to always volunteer useful information to the military and other security
agencies that would assist in exposing Boko Haram and their evil machinations
in our society and to make our communities safe and secure for all to live,” he
said.
