A statement from the Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar warned that the terrorists have now resorted to laying land mines on stretches of farmland.
The Army also warned the public that terrorists now operate with horses to carry out attacks on isolated villages and communities along fringes of our borders in the North East.
According to the Army, “The latest tactic of the terrorists is a grand design to cause fear and panic among the farmers as well as the local populace. The security forces will continue to be on their trail until they are completely flushed out of our country,”
The statement also added that, “While the military and other security forces are doing everything possible to neutralize these mine threats, individuals and citizens are advised to be mindful of strange and suspicious objects in their farmlands and localities as well as be weary of those coming on horses as they can be terrorists and to report same to the security forces for prompt action.”
The Boko Haram insurgency has raged on in Nigeria’s northeast for about seven years now killing over twenty thousand with millions of persons displaced.
However, in the past months, the military has succeeded in beating back the Islamist militant sect and significantly reduced the amount of suicide attacks on innocent civilians in the northeast.
