Troops in Borno state yesterday averted suicide bomb attacks by three
female suicide bombers. At about 12.25pm, the 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.
