that at least 13 pieces of Reverend Sisters' regalia of the Catholic
Church have been stolen from a
shop in Kano state purportedly for suicide bombing.
A statement from the deputy director, information of the SSS, Marilyn
Ogar, made available to LEADERSHIP news advised
Nigerians to look out for persons, especially female suicide bombers
who may disguise in the attire.
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.
