5 Terrorists And 1 Soldier Die In A Failed Suicide Attack In Borno

Troops have foiled two suicide bomb attempts
targeted at a military location in Yamtakei in
Gwoza Local Government Area in Borno on
Thursday and killed five terrorists involved in
the attempts. One soldier also died in the
failed attempts.
According to a statement by the army
spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, issued in Abuja
on Friday, at about 9.45 p.m. a suspected
female suicide bomber attempted to enter the
military location in Yamtake, but a vigilant
sentry on duty gunned her down and she died
instantly.
Usman explained that the failed attack was
followed up with another attempt by terrorists,
but “was decisively dealt with by troops”.
“The troops killed all the four attackers,
including two suicide bombers and recovered
two AK-47, three magazines, 109 rounds of
7.62mm (Special), one torchlight, one water
bottle, three magazine carriers, one illuminator
pyrotecnic and some quantity of drugs.
“Unfortunately, we we lost a soldier in the
process,” Usman said. (NAN)
