Read army statement below with picture of the suicide bomber.
Yesterday, at about
4.00am troops of 101 Battalion of 7 Division received a tip off about impending
attack in Maiduguri city by 4 suspected Boko Haram terrorists suicide bombers
from Sambisa forest through Cashew Plantation.
The ever vigilant
troops responded decisively by intercepting and neutralizing of the suspected
terrorists at Madiyari village, while the third suicide bomber was intercepted
and neutralized at Jimini-Bolori village.
Unfortunately 3 of our
soldiers sustained injuries in the process and they have been evacuated to the
unit’s Regimental Aid Post (RAP), for treatment.
The 2 unexploded
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on the suicide bombers were safely
detonated by a combined team of Nigeria Police and our Explosive Ordinance
Device (EOD) experts.
In a related
development, the troops also arrested 3 suspected Boko Haram terrorists at
Nwagafete village comprising 2 women and a 16 year old boy who were connected
to suspected terrorists’ food vendors earlier arrested.
