“As a government we have also already mapped out sensitization programme through our traditional institutions in which the populace would be sensitized on how to identify suicide bombers and what to do to stay safe,” Mr. Sajoh said.

“We have posters and other materials needed for such sensitization and they would effectively be used in most of our communities.”
