This was made known by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji LAI MOHAMMED, who also called for vigilance by the general public.
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant, EGUN ADENIYI, LAI MOHAMMED said the Boko Haram has adopted a new strategy involving the propagation of a perverted version of Shariah law and giving the impression that it was still holding territory.
The Minister appealed to the general public and the media to ensure that they do not unwittingly provide the terrorists with the oxygen of publicity that they desperately need.
He said the propaganda strategy was discovered from materials left behind by Boko Haram terrorists after they were routed from their last stronghold in Sambisa.
The Minister disclosed that the materials include documents, phones and computers that contained detailed information on the Boko Haram media and propaganda strategy.
He said the recovered materials confirmed the announcement of a new media wing called ”Wadi Baya” by Boko Haram in an audio released by the group on 17th January.
