BOKO Haram: Steer Clear Bomb Blast Scenes, DHQ Warns Citizens

The Director of Information, Defense Headquarters, Col. Rabe Abubakar, on Wednesday advised citizens to steer away from bomb blast scenes to avoid being victims of such blasts.

Abubakar gave the advice in Abuja at an interactive session with the media on the ongoing counter insurgency operation in the north-east.

“We appeal to citizens to avoid coming closer to bomb blast scenes in the event of explosion because when you come to assist the victims, second explosion may occur.”

He enjoined the citizens to join the military in the war against Boko Haram insurgents by providing relevant and timely information about the activities of insurgents.

“Everybody must be extremely security- conscious in our environment and people should be very careful of some objects they see in refuse dumps,” Abubakar said.

“The media remain the friendliest and formidable force to be reckoned with in the fight against terrorism, you have done it before and I believe you will keep on doing it.”
