New Method Used By Boko Haram Suicide Bombers According To Nigerian Army

The Defence Headquarters has warned Nigerians that Boko Haram militants have devised new tactics of inflicting harm on innocent people.Vanguard reports that the warning was contained in a statement made by Colonel Rabe Abubakar, the Defence spokesperson, on Monday, December 21.

According to the military, some of new tactics that terrorists use include crying, feigning pains and shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting public before bombing them.

“When a lot of people of goodwill gather to render help in the process, the suicide bomber detonates bombs which they conceal under their clothes. The recent suicide bombing in Damaturu is instructive.

“Similarly, suicide bombers used monetary incentives and other inducements especially in crowded places to lure innocent citizens in order to cause colossal damage to both lives and property. Yola suicide incident is fresh in our memory,” he said.
