According to the DHQ, Boko Haram terrorists have resorted to providing loans to young entrepreneurs and artisans as a way of inducing them for recruitment.
In a statement, Acting Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar said that the terrorists now target "youths in the North East, especially the butchers,
traders, tailors, beauticians and other vocational entrepreneurs who could be easily enticed with such loan without paying attention to sundry inherent dangers."After receiving such loans, the statement read "the beneficiaries are given the option to either join the group or risk being killed if they fail to pay the loan as at when due"
The payment however according to DHQ "has been surreptitiously programmed to fail"
The general public, especially those in the North East, are therefore alerted to constantly be weary and conscious of various tactics of the desperate Boko Haram sect.
"They should be guided to avoid loan or financial assistance from non-conventional source." the DHQ warns.
They are however free to obtain "financial assistance from conventional financial institutions such as banks, organised trade unions or institutionalized savings and loans establishments.
"Acting otherwise may lead to painful and untimely death from the blood-thirsty Boko Haram terrorists." the DHQ spokesperson said.
