The Federal Government on Friday issued a security alert, warning that Boko Haram terrorists, who had been put on the run by the military, were planning another sensational abduction of pupils and foreigners in a desperate effort to raise funds through ransom in order to meet their needs for food, medical and arms supply.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the planned abduction was in line with the terrorists’ new modus operandi of focusing on soft targets, having being routed from their stronghold and their capacity to stage spectacular attacks substantially degraded.
He said terrorists have now concentrated their attacks on soft targets, like motor parks, schools and entertainment centres as they had been degraded to a level that they are now incapable of staging spectacular attacks like they used to do.
