SSS Advises Nigerians To Be Wary Of Female Suicide Bombers In Reverend Sisters’ Attires

Marilyn OgarThe Department of State of State Service, DSS has raised the alarm over the theft of at least 13 pieces of Reverend Sisters’ regalia of the Catholic Church from a shop in Kano State, supposedly for the purpose of disguise for suicide bombing.

A statement from the DSS spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar, advised Nigerians to look out for persons, especially female suicide bombers, who may disguise as Reverend Sisters.

The statement reads in parts, “On 20th August, 2014, about 0400 hours, some yet to be identified persons broke into a tailoring shop located at No.55 Odutola Street, Sabon Gari, Kano, and stole about thirteen (13) pieces of Reverend Sisters’ regalia of the Catholic Church. With the recent trend in female suicide bombings in the country, the removal of these regalia may be the handiwork of terrorists’ elements that may want to perpetrate acts of terror using such garments.

“Consequently, this Service has taken necessary pre-emptive measures to thwart the exploitation of distinct religious wears for terrorist purposes. We also wish to draw public attention to this development and call on all citizens to be more circumspect and exercise greater vigilance with users of such peculiar attires.

“We enjoin all and sundry to continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies through the provision of useful information on suspicious activities within their immediate environment. This Service will continue to collaborate with all stakeholders as we strive to keep our country safe”.
