Red Alert: BokoHaram Now Recruiting Auto Mechanics For Their Next Strategy

Aftermath the heavy defeats inflicted on Boko
Haram insurgents in recent weeks, indications
have emerged that the group are recruiting
auto-mechanic and car wash operators across
the country with a view to using their centers
as loading bays to plant IEDS' on vehicles of
unsuspecting members of the public to cause
havoc.
The objective is to hit at some top government
establishment and functionaries as well as
military and police locations in other parts of
the country outside the North East epicenter of
the insurgency to divert attention from the
increasingly successful onslaught on the group
in recent days.
Towards this end, Intelligence sources told
Vanguard that the Boko Haram group have
infiltrated the ranks of many of the operators
and bought them over with very mouth
watering sums of money to look the other way
when the explosives were being planted on the
vehicles.
According to the source, the terrorists knowing
that many vehicle owners hardly find time to
spend with their mechanics or car wash
operators, have concluded the plot to fix
improvised explosive devices on such vehicles
while they are with the mechanic or cash wash.
When the unsuspecting owner of the car comes
to carry his or her car, he will drive off with an
explosives laden car that has been
programmed to explode within minutes or an
hour as the case maybe and in the process; he
may be consumed by the havoc the explosion
will cause.
A signal confirming this development and
addressed to all military formations in the
country said, "Boko Haram Infiltrates Auto-
Mechanic and Car Wash Centers'. It said the
group was planning to use vehicles of
unsuspecting members of the public, especially
prominent persons and top functionaries as
bomb explosive carriers".
The targets of such dastardly plots according to
the signal are official government quarters,
military barrack and public centers.
The public, vehicles owners and users are
therefore urged to be vigilant and watchful
especially when giving and collecting their
vehicles from auto-mechanic and car wash
centers; the military warned.
