The Defence Headquarters yesterday rang the alarm bell when it said that members of the decimated Boko Haram are now disguising as hunters and vigilante members in order to evade being detected as insurgents.
The Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar claimed in a statement that the terrorists, who have been smoked out of the Sambisa Forest, have resorted to dressing like hunters and vigilantes to unleash havoc on unsuspecting members of the public.
“Following the coordinated military offensive against the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in Sambisa Forest, the fleeing terrorists now disguise as vigilantes or hunters to evade easy detection,”
Abubakar disclosed that the insurgents, disguised as hunters and vigilante members, opened fire on some innocent people during a ceremony at Kuda-Kaya village in Madagali community of Adamawa State. He urged the citizens of the community in the operational area to be wary of accepting the services of unknown hunters and vigilante members so as to avoid hosting killers in their communities.
