In a bid to end terrorism in the country, the Nigerian military have reportedly uncovered Boko Harm terrorists’ new tricks used in escaping security checks.

Among such tricks is the recruitment of physically-
challenged people to carry out their evil acts in some
parts of the country.
According to Vanguard, the sects are recruiting the
physically challenged persons in order to have easy
access into states like Lagos.
Military sources hinted that following intelligence
report on the use of people with disabilities by the
Boko Haram sect, screening of physically challenged
persons, particular those using tricycles had begun.
This disclosure is following the confessional
statement of the physically challenged man who was
recently arrested at the Murtala Mohammed Airport
in Lagos, with combustive substance.
A military source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, however, assured that the military was
on top of the situation.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Defence,
Musiliu Obaniko, yesterday in Lagos, while
addressing journalists at the end of a two-day
familiarisation tour of the Western Naval
Command's area of responsibility, described Boko
Haram sect's declaration of Gwoza town in Borno
state as an Islamic caliphate, as a 'temporary
madness' that would soon disappear, saying there
would never be another republic within Nigeria.
Obanikoro, however, assured Nigerians that the
Federal Government had all that was needed to
address the current security situation in the country
and was taking adequate steps to put an end to Boko
Haram, such as providing adequate fund for the
military so as to acquire equipment that would help
in the fight against the sects.
According to him, "the madness we are witnessing
today is something that is temporary. And be rest
assured that we have all it takes to make it as
temporary as it takes. There can never be a republic
within a republic. The national Conference which
just ended had all responsible and reasonable
Nigerians saying that we are going to stay together,
live together in peace and develop our country.
"The commitment of President Goodluck Jonathan to
ensure this has started. We are having massive
injection of funds into acquisition of equipment that
will raise the performance level of our military across
the board; Navy, AirForce, Army and even the Police,
to meet the challenges of the future."
It would be recalled that on August 12, 2014, a
disabled man caused suspected to be a bomber was
arrested by the police after he was caught with some
explosives materials, a manual timer with which he
intended to detonate the bomb at the Nigerian
Airspace Management Authority (NAMA).
