Mission Failed!! Suicide Bomber Shot Dead While Trying To Enter IDP Camp In Maiduguri (Photo)

A suicide Bomber who was trying to cause havoc
irreparable inside an Internally Displaced Persons
camp, has been given a taste of his own medicine.
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.
