A Boko Haram suicide bomber heavily strapped with IEDs was on Thursday gunned down by military men in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state by 6:30 am.
Sani Usman, the acting Director of Army Public Relations, said in a statement that the terrorist attempted to infiltrate the city through the troops’ forward defences at Jidari Polo general area.
According to Mr. Usman, the insurgent came in through Alidawari village, about 4 kilometres ahead of Jidari and strapped himself with heavy Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) vest.
“The vigilant troops, on sighting him, laid in wait for the intruder when he vehemently refused to stop despite several warnings and challenges.
“A marksman neutralised the suicide bomber,” the statement said.
“The combined team of the Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD), safely detonated the IED-laden vest on the suicide bomber,” he said.
