The military Joint task force, JTF have alleged that the terrorist sect, Boko Haram have decided to use kidnapping and ransom demand instead of their usual armed robbery operations as a way of raising funds for their terrorist activities.<\/p>\n

The JTF in Borno State, Operation Restore Order said the sect may have taken this decision when it became obvious that most of their men involved in armed robbery operations are killed or arrested in battle with the security agencies and their sources of funds are being stifled.<\/p>\n

JTF spokesman, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, who disclosed this said in a statement, Sunday, that the security measures adopted by JTF Operation Restore Order had made it difficult and nearly impossible for the Boko Haram terrorists and other criminals to conduct successful bank robbery operations in Borno State.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the sect plan to take up kidnapping as demanding for ransom is less cumbersome, takes a short time to plan and execute than robbery.<\/p>\n

Musa said that \u201ca special kidnapping squad has been earmarked and tasked by Boko Haram sect to kidnap persons who could have wealthy relatives, politician, businessman\/woman, traditional ruler, senior civil servants and foreigners alike\u201d.<\/p>\n

He warned members of the public to be wary of this trend and asked that credible information should be communicated to the JTF through their hotlines which are operational at all time.<\/p>\n
