OndoReporter | ‘Boko Haram : Female bombers now dress in men attire’

The Defence headquarters Friday alerted
Nigerians that Boko Haram has devised new
tactics towards perpetuating their bloody and
murderous activities disclosing that female
bombers sent by the group now dress like men
to deceive security agencies.

A statement by the Acting Director of Defence
Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar
said, “In continuation with the sensitization of
our citizens on the devilish strategy of the
terrorists, the Nigerian Military authorities have
discovered that Boko Haram terrorists are
determined to continue letting off bombs and
have resorted to hiding their true sex identity.
“Female bombers now dress in men attire to
have access to mosque unhindered to
detonate their bombs.

“The latest suicide attack in the mosque at
Molai Umurari village in Borno State is
instructive in this regard.
“Therefore, members of the public are hereby
advised to be wary of suspicious persons,
irrespective of sex at worship places, markets
and public entertainment centers.

“Having been effectively dislodged and
decimated, the splinter cells of the remnant
Boko Haram terror group still engage in some
systematic isolated attacks, mainly on soft
targets in their desperation to remain relevant.
“The Defence Headquarters hereby advises the
general public to constantly be on alert to this
latest terrorist tactics and to report promptly
any suspicious persons or objects to the
nearest security agency.

“Local vigilante and community should device
more proactive measures to curtail such ugly
happenings to complement security agencies,
as security is everybody’s concern.”
