The ever alert and vigilant troops of 7 Division Garrison based in Maiduguri, in conjunction with Civilian JTF averted yet another suicide attack on the innocent citizens in Borno State today.
The troops intercepted 2 female suicide bombers at about
1.20am this morning, almost 100 metres south of Umurari village,
outskirts of Maiduguri.
However, one of
the suicide bombers on sighting own troops detonated her explosive
device, killing herself instantly, while the second bomber in an attempt
to escape was gunned down by one of the Garrison snipers.
The combined team of Nigeria Police and Nigerian Army’s Explosive Ordinance Device team safely detonated the unexploded Improvised Explosive Devices strapped on the gunned down suicide bomber.

It is important

Presently, the troops and the Civilian JTF deployed in the village are
now combing the general area to forestall further breach of security.
The situation in the area is calm and law abiding citizens are going about their normal activities without fear.
