This incident has shown that there are a few of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists that are determined to carry out criminal acts to create panic and insecurity in some areas.


In a related development, there is also very reliable information that remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists now disguise or pretend to be mad men or women in order to gain access to some locations, especially in Maiduguri.

Therefore, it is imperative for all to be more security conscious and vigilant especially during the Eid festivities and public holidays.


The public are further enjoined to report any suspicious persons or movement to the security agencies.
