Troops of 7
Division Garrison Forward Operation Base (FOB), today averted yet
another suicide bombing catastrophe on Ummarari community by suspected
Boko Haram terrorist at about 7.00am this morning.
The suicide
bomber was intercepted by the vigilant troops and the Civilian JTF while
making attempt to enter the village to detonate his dangerous cargo on
innocent persons in the Ummarari.
The suicide bomber detonated the strapped Improvised
Explosive Device (IED) vest on his body, thus killing himself instantly
when he was forced to halt based on suspicion that he was carrying
suicide bombing material.
Thankfully,
there was no any other casualty other than the suspected suicide bomber.
Troops along with the Civilian JTF at the village are now combing the
surrounding area to forestall further attacks and clear the environment
of likely remnants of Boko Haram terrorists hibernating.
