Worried that the spate of suicide bombings in the North East, with Maiduguri and Madagali in Borno State in particular, is assuming a disturbing proportion, the Nigerian Army is offering a reward of N500,000 for any information that leads to the arrest of a suicide bomber, the guide to the suicide bomber or discovery of the transit house or factory of the suicide bombers.
The offer was contained in a statement on Tuesday by the spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Sani Usman.
Usman said the offer by the Nigerian Army is to further encourage law abiding citizens to actively join the war against terrorists and the country’s collective security.
He gave the numbers to call for immediate response as Theatre Commander, Operations LAFIYA DOLE, Maiduguri, 09064823221; General Officer Commanding 7 Division Maiduguri, 09078599985; Commander, 7 Division Garrison, Maiduguri, 08022375305; Commander, 28 Brigade, Mubi, 08065504576; Commander, 26 Brigade, Gwoza, 08097211700 (WhatsApp); Director, Army Public Relations, Abuja, 07080217992; and Commander, 7 Division Military Intelligence Brigade Maiduguri, 09021668444.
Usman added in the statement: “We would like to reassure that all information received would be treated with utmost confidentiality and acted upon with despatch.
“While we appreciate the cooperation of the members of the general public so far, there is the need to be more vigilant and security conscious to save lives and apprehend Boko Haram terrorists and their sponsors.
“Once again we call on all law abiding citizens to provide useful information to security agencies towards a quicker apprehension of remnants of terrorists still bent on unleashing mayhem on Nigerians.”
