Boko haram new bombing tactics: can we say we are defeating

The Defence Headquarters has raised alarm over
the new tactics Boko Haram militants have devised
to inflict harm on innocent Nigerians. Vanguard
reports that the warning was contained in a
statement made by Colonel Rabe Abubakar, the
Defence spokesperson, on Monday, December 21.
The military said some of new tactics that
terrorists use include crying, feigning pains and
shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting
public before bombing them. "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," he said.
