Nigerian troops and Borno Youths Empowerment Youth, otherwise known as
\nCivilian JTF, have intercepted four female suicide bombers ahead of a
\ncheckpoint in the outskirts of Maiduguri.<\/p>\n
A statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani
\nKukasheka Usman, said the suicide bombers were earlier observed trying to
\nbypass a military checkpoint through a close by village before they were
\nordered to take the right road.
\n\u201cHowever, few metres short of the checkpoint , one of the bombers swiftly
\ndetonated her vest. The vigilant troops gunned down the other 3 suicide
\nbombers before they carry out their nefarious acts,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, one of the Civilian JTF lost his live and 4 other persons
\nsustained various degrees of injuries. The Nigeria Police Explosive
\nOrdinance Device team in the area safely detonated the unexploded
\nImprovised Explosive Device carried by the other suicide bombers. The
\nsecurity situation in the area is now cool and calm.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
