The Suicide bomber was Shot
Soldiers in Maiduguri have shot dead a suspected Boko
Haram suicide bomber.
Officials said the suspect was shot dead after he was
spotted trying to creep into the same IDP camp that
nearly came under attack by a female suicide bomber
who killed herself and five others on Saturday morning.
The suicide bomber was shot dead by vigilant soldiers
who opened fire on him causing one of the two bombs
around his body to go off.
Saturday and Sunday’s incidents appear to indicate that
the insurgents have made internally displaced persons,
IDP, camps a major point of target.
According to Premium Times, a top leader of the
Civilian-JTF, Alhaji Dan-Batta, revealed on phone that
“the male suicide bomber was seen loitering around the
back perimeter fence of Bakassi camp at about 9 a.m. He
was shot down before he could advance closer to the
camp. One of the bombs he was carrying exploded, but
another is still strapped on his body did not explode.
The anti-bomb squad operatives are trying to defuse
that one”.
No other person was reported killed or injured from the
explosion.
The incident did not cause any panic in the Borno
capital as many residents were seen going about their
daily businesses.
Sunday’s blast came as the fifth in the series of bomb
attacks around Maiduguri by the Boko Haram in the last
three weeks.
Since the release of 21 of the abducted Chibok
schoolgirls three weeks ago, Boko Haram insurgents
have scaled up their hostility mainly using improvised
explosives.
The federal government had said it will be going into
another round of negotiations with the insurgents with
a view to securing the release of more of the girls.
Despite that, the Boko Haram have continued with their
terror attacks.
Neither the military nor the police have issued any
statement on Sunday’s incident at the time of filing this
report.
