The Defence Headquarters said it has uncovered another gimmick being used by Boko Haram terrorists.
It said the escaping Boko Haram terrorists that were smoked out of Sambisa forest by the combined efforts of the Nigerian Armed Forces now disguise as menial workers.
According to the statement by the spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, available information indicates that some fleeing Boko Haram terrorists are now disguising as menial workers to melt into communities and towns with a view to organising terrorists attack against innocent citizens.
He said the unfortunate recent incidents in Madagali in Adamawa State and Maiduguri in Borno State are instructive.
The statement added: “The Defence Headquarters therefore advises citizens to be on the alert and be wary of these tricks of the defeated terrorists who are hell-bent on remaining relevant inspite of their lost battle.
“This sensitisation becomes necessary now to create security awareness to our citizens to be conscious of some strange faces that could take menial jobs in their communities or towns, especially now that festivities are around the corner.”
