Major General Lamidi Adeosun, the Commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has revealed that Boko Haram insurgents have come up with a bizarre new terror tactic.
According to the general, the terrorists are now strapping bombs to birds and directing them to their targets.
He also said that Boko Haram will continue to develop more deadly weapons to continue their campaign of slaughter across Nigeria and West Africa.

The Independent, a United Kingdom newspaper, quoted Adeosun as saying the new discovery was made at a meeting with American diplomats and security officials.
According to the report, Adeosun showed gruesome photos of the victims of Boko Haram’s attacks and their latest weapons during the briefing at the Multinational Joint Task Force’s headquarters in Chad on Wednesday, April 20.
One of the pictures shared during the meeting, showed a bird with an explosive device strapped on its back.
Adeosun was further quoted to have said that his force had received intelligence that Isis members were being imbedded with Boko Haram.
He however, added that Boko Haram sect had not satisfied requirements for greater operational coordination.
It is not the first report of birds being used to carry explosive devices.
Photos emerged in July last year claiming to show  by Isis fighters in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.
There was speculation that they could be resorting to increasingly bizarre means of destruction while running out of ammunition but the account could not be verified.
