A security expert, Max Gbanite, has advised the military to confiscate and search the phones of women who were liberated from Sambisa Forest, some of whom, he said, might have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by Boko Haram.
The security analyst observed that the terrorist group could have sleeper cells among the liberated women, noting that all it would take to activate such cells to carry out suicide bombings was a phone call.
Gbanite, who spoke in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday, averred that the military is winning the war, going by the territories it had recovered from the insurgents.
According to him, the movement of the Command and Control Centre to Yola and Maiduguri could have strengthened the counter-insurgency operations if it was a conventional war, but noted that the impact on an asymmetrical warfare remains to be seen.
