Three female suicide bombers of the Boko Haram terrorists were reportedly killed after they tried to infiltrate the army base in Gwoza, Nigeria.
The female suicide bombers, on Thursday October 6, dressed in Hijab mode wanted to look like the female farmers who work near the military base. They wore IEDs( Improvised Explosive Device), beneath their clothes and tried to enter the military base. Some vigilantes suspected their movement and the nature of their Hijab and tried to intercept the women. When the suicide bombers noticed they have been compromised, they tried to force their way into the base, perhaps an attempt to detonate the explosives but two of the suicide bombers were neutralized. The last one made a last ditch attempt to escape but her pursuer killed her.
However, a soldier was reportedly injured from the impact of the explosion but is currently receiving treatment. The statement from Col Usman read
Today, Thursday, October 6, at about 12:25pm, 3 female suicide bombers attempted to attack a military location at Gwoza, Gwoza local government area, Borno State.
The Suicide bombers who came through Pulka axis were sighted by members of vigilante fro. a distance and alerted the troops about impending catastrophe. The very observant vigilante also noted that the women looked suspicious; walking awkwardly with bulging Hijab and distinct from other female farmers.
When the suicide bombers noticed that they were being observed, they hurriedly ran toward the troops aiming to detonate it on them. The troops neutralized two of the female suicide bombers, while the other ran back into the bush but was pursued. Unfortunately, one of the soldiers sustained injuries due to the impact of the explosion. The wounded soldier is currently receiving treatment at military medical centre and he is in stable condition.
