The Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Ahmad Usman, gave the warning in a statement on Wednesday in Sokoto.

He expressed delight that the joint military operations in the area had been successful, leaving the terrorists disorganised.

Usman said: “Many terrorist enclaves were identified and destroyed, with several bandits neutralised, and hundreds of kidnapped victims were also rescued in the ongoing operations.
“As security operatives put more pressure on the bandits, they are fleeing to other areas with their injured members.
”Therefore, we want our people to be cautious as some bandits may disguise and seek refuge in villages or receive treatment at local clinics.”
