Several Boko Haram terrorists were caught in Nigeria after attempting to evade security officials by dressing in feminine clothing while maintaining their thick beards, the Daily Mail reports.

To the surprise of security officials, several fighters tried to escape by dressing up in colorful feminine attire—doing nothing, however, to cover up their thick beards.
