It said the insurgents were in disarray following sustained offensive against them by troops in the North-East and they had resorted to vent their anger on civilians.
The statement added that the sustained attacks also accounted for the spate of attacks recorded recently in Yobe, Kano, Borno and Plateau states with intent of distracting security forces.
“We also reiterate our call on motor park managers to ensure proper screening of vehicles, persons and luggage entering their premises.
“They should also look out for new faces, who show up as drivers and conductors.
“Similarly, we want to encourage residents of recaptured towns and communities to return to their homes,’’ it said.
