ALERT: B’Haram now hides bombs in vegetables

The Nigeria defence headquarters (DHQ) has advised citizens to be vigilant, most especially around mobile grocery vendors, as Boko Haram now conceals bombs in vegetables.

“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 (IEDs) as groceries into crowded areas,” Rabe Abubakar, defence spokesman, said in a statement on Thursday.

“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 northeast is a case in point,” he said.

“Having been effectively dislodged and decimated, the BH terror group has begun some systematic isolated attacks mainly on soft targets in their desperation to remain relevant.
