The military on Monday said that Boko Haram terrorists have devised other means of inflicting harm on innocent citizens to further their terrorist cause.

Rabe Abubakar, a Brigadier General and acting Director Defence Information, in a statement said some of such tactics Boko Haram now used included crying and feigning pains and shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting public.

?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,? it said.

The Defence Headquarters urged citizens to be wary of such antics of the terrorists who were losing out in their former enclaves and were desperate to remain relevant by using any means to perpetuate fear in the minds of the populace.

It further advised Nigerians to be extra vigilant and weary of terrorist malevolence in such places as parks, worship centres and recreation spots, particularly during the festive period.
