The Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, told our correspondent on the telephone on Saturday that it was important for the worship centres to complement the efforts of the military and other security agencies to forestall any plan by terrorist elements to cause havoc during the period of celebrations.
Abubakar said that the Boko Haram members had been known in the past to disguise as mad people to have access to markets and other large gatherings in other to carry out heinous acts against the country and the citizenry.
He said while security agents were working hard to ensure there was no security breach during the period, it was also important for the citizenry to volunteer necessary information to them on any suspicious objects and strange faces in the areas.
