The Federal Government has warned Nigerians over an orchestrated scheme to use female suicide bombers to disrupt polling centres during the general elections.
The information was disseminated by the Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mike Omeri, on Thursday, February 5, during the weekly briefing on the war against terrorism in Abuja.
He said: “Recent intelligence reports indicate that some unscrupulous Nigerians have perfected plans to surreptitiously collect, buy or steal the Permanent Voter Cards of female voters, handover same to female suicide bombers and create access for them into polling centres where they will detonate bombs and kill unsuspecting voters.
“By this information, therefore, Nigerians, especially female voters are warned to remain vigilant and also jealously guard and preserve their PVCs to avoid the possibility of it being lost to these bad elements who will put them to untoward uses.”
“The reported success and offensives by armies of the various countries is a result of country-to-country bilateral agreements entered into by the Nigerian government with its neighbours to enhance coordination in the fight against insurgency in the region” Omeri added.
