Defence Headquarters expose female suicide bombers' tricks

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has unveiled the new trick employed by female suicide bombers to wreck havoc.

In a statement signed by acting Director of Defence Information, Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar, the attention of the general public was drawn to a new tactic being used by female suicide bombers in the Northeastern part of the country.

Abubakar said that the new trick entails the female suicide bombers strapping babies to their backs to evade detection by security operatives.

He further said they in turn appear as nursing mothers and free from detection by security operatives.

Abubakar explained further that the two recent suicide bomb attacks in Madagali, Adamawa State, were executed via this tactic.

Hence, the DHQ called on Nigerians to be patient and cooperate with the military and other security agencies while carrying out thorough security search and checks.

The statement also stated that the traffic snarls at military and security check points arising from rigorous security checks are not meant to cause discomfort,  but to ensure that lives and properties are protected.

Abubakar also urged members of the public to always volunteer useful information to the military and other security agencies that would assist in exposing Boko Haram.
