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.”
