(Nigeria) Defence Headquarters have alerted Nigerians of the desperation of Boko Haram to unleash terror on the people as its fleeing remnant have laid land mines on stretches of farm land in areas they were abandoning.
Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Director Defence Information in a statement on Tuesday, said “The Defence Headquarters wishes to inform the general public particularly those in the North East that in their desperation to unleash terror on the people, the fleeing remnant terrorists have laid land mines on stretches of farm land.
“It is also instructive to alert 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.  A recent attack using horses readily come to mind in this regard.
”These latest tactics 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.
“While the military and other security forces are doing everything possible to neutralise 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 statement added.
