The Defence Headquarters has said members of the Boko Haram group now disguise as hunters and vigilantes to evade arrest.
Defence spokesman Brig-Gen Rabe Abubakar, in a statement yesterday, said: “The fleeing terrorists now disguise as vigilantes or hunters to evade easy detection. The terrorists, after being smoked out of Sambisa forest, in their desperation to wreak havoc on innocent Nigerians and to remain relevant, devised a new tactics of dressing like vigilantes or hunters to deceive unsuspecting members of the public of their true identity”.
“The case of Kuda-Kaya village in Madadali community of Adamawa State, where a group of Boko Haram terrorists dressed like vigilantes, opened fire on elated people during a ceremony readily comes to mind. The general public is hereby advised to be wary of unsubscribed services or presence of vigilantes or hunters in their neighbourhood in order not to ignorantly harbour killer gang in their midst”.
He advised members of the public to be security conscious and report any suspicious persons or group of persons in their community to security agencies.
