An official statement released by the Defence
Headquarters today:

“The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to
inform Nigerians living in the North East and any
other parts of the country to keep a lookout for
Cluster Bombs sometimes called scatter bombs
as the Nigerian Army Engineers serving in
Adamawa State have recovered some catches of
these bombs in the contested areas in recent
time.

The military high command has discovered that
the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) in the areas
have used such lethal instruments over time to
push their callous terrorist cause. For easy
identification, it is important to note that cluster
bombs are bombs that house submunitions, that
is, smaller explosives contained in individual
cases. These bombs are used against large areas
containing many targets, such as columns of
vehicles, marketplaces, places of worship or large
troop concentration as the case may be.
Some cluster bombs carry several hundred of very
small explosives wrapped in a metal container like
a pot while others carry larger submunitions that
can find specific targets such as tanks. Some of
these submunitions do not blow up immediately,
but remain behind and act as landmines. This can
be an acceptable explanation for the recovery of
catches of these bombs by Nigerian Army
Engineers in the area.

The general publics are hereby requested to be
wary of such concealed dangerous equipment
now being used by the terrorist elements to cause
havoc to both innocent lives and property. The
public is also advised to report such objects/
materials if seen to security agencies for prompt
action. The terrorists are desperate and frustrated
and could use any cruel instrument to actualize
their evil intention.

Members of the public are hereby urged to
continue to cooperate with the security agencies
by giving timely information to secure our great
country.”

DSS who are supposed to be gathering such intelligence are having a field day at the rivers tribunal arresting witnesses. Maybe we should wait till the case is over
