In the wake of recurrent suicide attacks in the state and the whole country, the Adamawa State government has started awareness campaign on how to detect a potential suicide bomber.
The campaign, which is aimed at awareness developing, includes radio jingles on radio and television, distribution of leaflets and posters in English and Hausa language.
One of the posters obtained from the state Ministry of Information team provides helpful indications on how to detect a suspect individual whose behaviour suggests he might be carrying an improvised explosive device.
It contains 16 points on security awareness that reads in part:
” – He or she wears loose clothing giving the impression that the body is disproportionally larger than the head or feet.
– He or she appears to be focused and vigilant and may be fervently praying to him/herself- giving the appearance of whispering to someone.
– He or she displays no response to authoritative voice or direct salutation.
– He or she demonstrates forceful action (to reach a desired target by pushing their way through a crowd or restricted area).”
Besides, it provides security hotlines for people to call in case of any emergency: 08021366660 and 09038800688.
It would be recalled that no fewer than 10 people have been confirmed dead while 30 others were injured following triple explosions that rocked the Chibok town of Borno state on Wednesday, January 27.
Be vigilant, protect yourself and your loved ones!
