In continuation with the sensitisation of Nigerians on the strategy of the terrorists, the military authorities have discovered that the Boko Haram terrorists have resorted to be masquerading as fruits and vegetable vendors wheeling Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) as groceries into crowded areas.
Acting Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, in a statement in Abuja, on Thursday, said that the terrorists now hide IEDs under vegetable wares in carts and wheelbarrows and move to crowded places where they detonate them for maximum casualties.
According to him, the recent terrorists attack in the North East is a case in point.
He noted that having been effectively dislodged and decimated, the terror group has begun some systematic isolated attacks mainly on soft targets in their desperation to remain relevant.
The defence spokesman added that 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.
