Female suicide bombers now carry babies – DHQ

The Defence Headquarters says female suicide bombers in
the North East are now evading detection from security
operatives by carrying babies on their back, that ordinarily
passes them 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.
Abubakar said the method was being adopted by female
suicide bombers in the North East.
According to him, the two recent suicide bomb attacks in
Madagali, Adamawa State are instructive in this regard.
“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,” he said
