Female Suicide Bombers Might be Used During Election -FG

Boko Haram and other unscrupulous Nigerians might use female suicide bombers to cause havoc during the February 14 election. According to a report from NAN, the Federal Government has uncovered plans by some dishonest Nigerians to hijack and hand over Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) to female suicide bombers. Mr Mike Omeri, Coordinator, National Information Centre, who disclosed this on Thursday while giving update on the security situation in the country, therefore, called on the people to remain vigilant.

“Recent intelligence reports indicate that some unscrupulous Nigerians have perfected plans to surreptitiously collect, buy or steal the PVCs of female voters. They will then hand over same to female suicide bombers and create access for them into polling centres where they will detonate bombs and kill unsuspecting voters.

“By this information, therefore, Nigerians, especially female voters, are warned to remain vigilant and also jealously guard and preserve their PVCs. This is to avoid the possibility of their PVCs being lost to these bad elements who will put them to untoward use,’’ Omeri said.
