SOLDIERS NEUTRALIZE FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBERS IN BORNO

Yesterday, Thursday 6th October 2016,
at about 12.25pm, 3 female suicide
bombers attempted to attack a
military location at Gwoza, Gwoza
Local Government Area, Borno State.
The suicide bombers who came
through Pulka axis were sighted by
members of vigilante from a
distance and alerted the troops
about the impending catastrophe.
The very observant vigilante also
noted that the women looked
suspicious; walking awkwardly
with bulging hijab and distinct
from other female farmers.
When the suicide bombers noticed
that they were being observed, they
hurriedly ran towards troops
aiming to detonate it on them. The
troops neutralized 2 of the female
suicide bombers, while the other
ran back into the bush but was
pursued.
Unfortunately, a soldier sustained
injuries due to the impact of the
explosion. The wounded soldier is
currently receiving treatment at a
military medical centre and he is
in stable condition.
Thank you for your kind
cooperation.
Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director Army Public Relations
