A failed suicide bombing attempt has resulted in the death of the attacker in Gombe state.
The
suicide bomber rammed a vehicle full of explosives into a military
checkpoint in the Bajoga area of the state but failed to achieve his
mission.
According to a press statement released by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters:
A
suicide bomber who rammed into a military check point in Bajoga, Gombe
State yesterday, failed to achieve his mission. His attempt to escape
also failed as he was brought down by vigilant soldiers when he tried to
flee after hitting a military Amoured Personnel Carrier with his IED
laden Honda car. The explosives which failed to detonate have been
evacuated and handed to the police.
Also
in Kano, security forces have raided the terrorists’ hideout in Nasarawa
Local Government Area leading to the arrest of bomb making experts who
are already helping in the investigation into activities of bombers
lately. Officers believe that the efforts will yield useful clues.
Troops
deployed in all locations of the counter terrorism campaign have been
directed to sustain the tempo of operations all through the period of
seasonal celebrations and ensure that the intention of terrorists to
attack civilian target while avoiding troops is duly frustrated.
