The Nigerian Army said on Friday that
Boko Haram insurgents now hide explosives inside fruits and vegetables
to carry out their deadly activities, warning citizens to report any
suspicious person to the nearest security agency.
This disclosure by the military was
contained in a statement on its website. The army wrote, “In
continuation with the sensitisation of our citizens on the devilish
strategy of the terrorists, the Nigerian military authorities have
discovered that the Boko Haram terrorists are determined to continue
letting off bombs and have resorted to masquerading as fruits and
vegetable vendors wheeling Improvised Explosive Devices as groceries
into crowded areas.
“The terrorists now hide IEDs under
vegetable wares in carts and wheelbarrows and move to crowded places
where they detonate them for maximum casualties. The recent terrorists
attack in the North-East is a case in point.
“Having been effectively dislodged and
decimated, the Boko Haram terror group has begun some systematic
isolated attacks mainly on soft targets in its desperation to remain
relevant.
“The Defence Headquarters hereby advises
the general public to constantly be alert to this latest terrorist
tactic and to report promptly any suspicious persons or objects to the
nearest security agency.”
