The Defence Headquarters on Tuesday said fleeing members of the Boko Haram sect were already infiltrating villages, disguising as menial workers.

This was in a statement by the acting defence spokesman, Gen. Rabe Abubakar in Abuja.

He said, “Available information indicates that some fleeing Boko Haram terrorists are now disguising as menial workers to melt into communities and towns with a view to organising terrorists attack against our innocent citizens.

“The unfortunate recent incidents in Madagali and Maiduguri are instructive.

“The Defence Headquarters therefore advises citizens to be on the alert and be wary of these tricks of the defeated terrorists who are hell-bent on remaining relevant in spite of their lost battle.”
