The Department of State Service on Saturday raised the alarm of the possible use of bombers dressed in the uniforms of reverend sisters of the Catholic Church by terrorists.
The DSS in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar, said some unidentified persons on Thursday broke into a shop where the reverend sisters’ uniforms were being sewed and carted away 13.
Ogar said the uniforms were stolen at about 4am from a shop at 55, Odutola Street, Sabon Gari, Kano.
The statement said with the recent trend of female suicide bombings in the country, the theft of these regalia has heightened concerns about the possibility of terrorist elements using the same to perpetrate acts of terror.
The statement added: “Consequently, this Service wishes to draw the attention of the public to this development and to call on all citizens to be more circumspect and exercise greater vigilance with users of such peculiar attires.
“We therefore enjoin all to continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies through the provision of useful information on suspicious activities within their immediate environment.
“This Service will continue to collaborate with all stakeholders as we strive to keep our country safe.”
