Book haram:Two female suicide bomber killed by the military 
The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman,
said in a statement on Friday that 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.”
According to Usman, “the troops intercepted two female suicide
bombers at about 1.20 this morning, almost 100 metres south of
Umurari village, on the outskirts of Maiduguri”.
However, he said, one of the suicide bombers on sighting the
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.
He said that the combined team of Nigeria Police and Nigerian
Army’s Explosive Ordinance Device team safely defused the
unexploded Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) strapped on the
gunned down suicide bomber.
Usman however noted that there was no casualty beyond the two
suicide bombers. Presently, he said, 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,” he added.
In a related development, Usman said that the troops of newly
inducted 3rd Battalion, 22 Brigade, in conjunction with Army
Headquarters Strike Group (AHQ SG) and the Armed Forces
Special Forces (AFSF), carried out a spectacular clearance
operation on Tuesday, March 22, 2016.
According to him, the military forces cleared the remnants of the
Boko Haram terrorists hibernating in Kala Balge general area.Boko Haram :Two female suicide bomber killed by the military
