The government said that this is the new strategy being employed by members of Boko Haram, who it said, are now targeting the state.
The state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Malam Muhammad Nazif, who gave this warning in a statement, asked members of the public to be wary of persons pretending to be in pain and in need of help.
“The public is advised to be wary of those that attract public sympathy by pretending to be in pain and need help, thereby attracting a large crowd to the scene.
“Their intention is to detonate explosive device and cause harm to citizens who are moved by sympathy to assist them,’’ he said.
The commissioner also advised the people to alert security personnel immediately they suspect any foul play. [myad]
