Authorities in Nigeria are warning that bombers could try to disguise themselves as nuns to avoid detection.
Government officials from the Department of State Services issued the warning after some clothing was stolen from a Catholic shop in the country.
It's thought it could be used by terrorists to gain access to areas they want to attack.
A statement from the department said: "With the recent trend of female suicide bombings in the country, the theft of these regalia heightens concerns about the possibility of terrorist elements using [it] to perpetrate acts of terror."
Members of the public are being urged to report any suspicious activity.
Bomb attacks on churches in Nigeria have been on the increase recently as a terrorist campaign by Boko Haram continues.
