What
would have been a bloody Friday in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, was
averted today, as two female Boko Haram suicide bombers got killed before they
entered the city of several million people.
The two bombers were killed early today at Umulari Mulai about six kilometres
away from Maiduguri on the Maiduguri-Damboa road. Reports say the the two
bombers were sighted around 1:00 am by vigilantes known as Civilian JTF.
One
of them detonated her bomb when the Civilian JTF vigilantes on duty around the
area asked ‘who is there.’ The second bomber scurried away and holed up nearby.
But she was discovered and shot when soldiers came to the site. Her bomb was
later detonated.
