Boko Haram now uses Cows to launch attacks.

Security agents have discovered that
insurgent group, Boko Haram has
launched a new strategy of bomb attacks
and are now using cows as moving IED’s.
The Federal government yesterday said the
insurgents have strapped bombs to cows
and herded the cows to human settlements
before detonating the explosives.
Boko Haram has been terrorizing the nation
since 2009.
The Director General of National Orientation
Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, who is also
the Coordinator of the National Information
Centre (NIC), revealed this at a press
briefing in Abuja but did not say if this
method has been used by the insurgents.
He also talked on the situation in the North
east and said: “ The situation in Yobe and
Maiduguri is calm… The situation has
returned to normal. “Like Maiduguri, the
insurgents have resorted to other means of
invading society, and that is why they now
use bombs; they strap bombs around
human beings.
“Sometimes, they strap bombs around
cows, and push them to settlements. “That
is why we have been calling for more
vigilance and total collaboration and
cooperation among citizens. “We urge all
citizens to be patient, when you are
subjected to searches and checks; it is
something that we have to live with.
“It happens all over the world, especially
when we are faced with what we have.” On
the Federal Government’s renewed alliance
with Russia, in a bid to buy arms after the
United States, its traditional arms supplier
had frustrated efforts to acquire certain
categories of arms, Omeri said: “Nigeria
buys arms from all over the world and we
have been buying arms from the Eastern
bloc for a long time.
Nigeria has been figting Insurgent group,
Boko Haram since 2009 and have been
having mixed results for the past couple of
months.
