Borno State residents have been alerted of the plan by Boko Haram to start using beggars and some other means for terror attacks.
Col. Mustapha Anka, the Media Coordinator of Operation Lafiya Dole disclosed this in a statement in Maiduguri on Friday.
The statement:
“The attention of the Operation Lafiya Dole has been drawn to a terrorists’ intention to use beggars to cause mayhem in the state.
“Under the plan, concealed explosives in bundles of firewood are to be placed in crowded and strategic areas of Maiduguri and environs to cause havoc.
’“Additionally, the general public should be weary of a terrorists plan to deceive the public by way of shouting `Boko Haram’ to create panic in order to lure unsuspecting public for maximum casualty while detonating their bombs during and after the new year celebrations.
“The Theater wishes to remind the public to be extra vigilant during and after the new year celebrations as the ban on bangers and fireworks is still in force.’’
