The Force Public Relations Officer,
Frank Mba, on Wednesday in Abuja
said international terror organisations
use female suicide bombers in attacks
because they are less suspicious .
Mr. Mba, who was answering questions at
the National Information Centre , said
the use of females in suicide attacks is
not new .
“ Established international terror
organisations use female suicide
bombers , the major reason is because
women generally raise fewer
suspicion , particularly when there are
security layers.
“ If you have been following the trend
of terrorism worldwide, you will
understand that the use of a female
suicide bomber is not new.
“ But , it is a new trend in our own part
of the world” , he said .
The force spokesperson , however ,
said a new counter- terrorism strategy
was being developed to address the
new trend in the country .
“ We are developing counter- terrorism
strategies to deal with that .
“ By our rules of engagement and by
our culture too , male security
operatives generally are not allowed
to search females.
“ You will see increase in female
security personnel on roads and in
other places where stop and search
exercises are being carried out.
“ Nigerians should be prepared to see
more female police officers, bomb
disposal experts , DSS operatives and
soldiers in combat operations ’’, he
said .
Mr . Mba appealed to parents and
Local Government authorities across
the country to support efforts to
stamp out street hawking by young
girls , particularly among minors .
