» Security Alert: Terrorists Now Disguising As ‘Mad People’ «

he Nigeria army has warned members of the public to be
wary of people dressed as “mad men”, especially in the
north-east, saying they could be suicide bombers waiting
to detonate their explosive devices.
Rabe Abubakar, a brigadier-general and and acting director
of defence information, issued the warning on Saturday,
following Friday’s bomb blast at Gombi market, Adamawa
state, that resulted in the death of 10 people.
“It has come to the notice of the Defence Headquarters
(DHQ) that Boko Haram members, in their desperation to
cause colossal havoc, have now devised a new method
where they dress like mad persons to gain unsuspecting
access to public areas to detonate bombs,” Abubakar said
in a statement.
“The 2 male suicide bombers, dressed like mad women
and carried out suicide bomb attack in Gombi, Adamawa
state, is instructive in this direction. Five people lost their
lives and several others were wounded in the heinous
attack by these ungodly people.
“The Defence Headquarters therefore urges our fellow good
citizens across the country to be wary of mad persons
approaching markets, public places or crowded areas so as
to nip this ugly trend in the bud.
“Nigerians are also enjoined to be security-conscious at
all times and should endeavour to report any suspicious
person or object to security agencies for prompt action.”
