The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has warned members of the public that the Boko Haram terrorists have now devised a deadly tactic of luring people together in order to bomb them.
This was disclosed on Monday in a statement signed by the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar.
“It has come to the knowledge of the DHQ that Boko Haram terrorists have now devised other means of inflicting harm on innocent citizens to further their terrorist cause,” Abubakar stated.
He said that some of such tactics they now, use include crying and feigning pains and shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting public.
“When a lot of people of goodwill gather to render help in the process, the suicide bomber detonates bombs which they conceal under their clothes. The recent suicide bombing in Damaturu is instructive,” he explained.
Similarly, he said, suicide bombers used monetary incentives and other inducements especially in crowded places to lure innocent citizens in order to cause colossal damage to both lives and property.
