Boko Haram Suicide Bombers Now Use Babies To Carry Their Bombs – DHQ

The Defence Headquarters has revealed that female suicide bombers in the North East now use infants to evade detection.

The organisation said the suicide bombers carry out their dastardly act by carrying babies on their back, so that they are passed for innocent nursing mothers.

The Acting Director Defence information, Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, said in a statement in Abuja on Friday that the attention of the DHQ had been drawn to the new tactic.

It was revealed that the two recent suicide bomb attacks in Madagali, Adamawa State followed this pattern.

Abubakar said: “The DHQ wishes to seize this opportunity to appeal to members of the public to be patient and cooperate with the military and other security agencies while carrying out thorough security search and checks as the essence is to nip in the bud the murderous intention of the Boko Haram suicide bombers.

“The DHQ wishes to state further that the usual traffic “go-slow” at military and security check points as a result of rigorous security checks are not meant to cause public discomfort or a deliberate action to induce traffic disruptions on our roads, but an effort put in place towards protecting the lives and properties of our innocent citizens.

“Members of the public are, therefore, urged to always volunteer useful information to the military and other security agencies that would assist in exposing Boko Haram and their evil machinations in our society and to make our communities safe and secure for all to live.”
