The state's NSCDC Commandant, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri.
Abdullahi said people must be wary of such people in tattered clothes, trying to beg in Mosques ``because Boko Haram members have been trying to use every type of ploy to penetrate gatherings to perpetrate havoc.
``Any Mosque you go, there are always regular destitute who normally come around and beg; we are not referring to those ones but any new face seen around should be sent away immediately.
