The army media coordinator,
Colonel Mustapha Anka, in a statement, said
the attention of Operation LAFIYA DOLE was
drawn to Boko Haram members plan to use
beggars to wreak havoc in the metropolis.
According to him, the beggars are expected
to hide improvise explosive devices in
bundles of firewood and placed them in
crowded and strategic areas within the state
and environs.
Anka told the general public to be vigilant of
the terrorists’ plan to deceive residents by
way of shouting “Boko Haram” to create
panic in order to attract unsuspected
members of the public for maximum casualty
during and after the New Year celebrations

“The command wishes to remind the general
public to be extra vigilant during and after the
New Year celebrations as the ban on bangers
and fire crackers is still in force,” he said.
Boko Haram has been a huge security issue
in Nigeria despite the fact that gallant
Nigerian soldiers have been killing as many
as the can, the terrorists group had refused
to relent in its bloodbath against innocent
and vulnerable citizens.

fewer than 30 people were killed on Monday,
