Many were
injured Wednesday morning in a failed suicide attack near a mosque in Sulimanti
ward of Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
According to
reports, two suicide bombers suspected to be member of Boko Haram terrorist
strapped with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) stormed the area. One of the attackers
denoted his IED while the other one escaped without detonating his IED, a
situation that men of the Civilian JTF and volunteered residents are combing
the whole area with a view to arrest the fleeing suicide bomber.
Sources said, “the suicide bomber who disguised as a worshipper attempted to enter the nearby Masalacin Kofar Shehu Councillor (mosque) when Muslim faithful were performing their morning prayers, but the IEDs he was carrying exploded few meters to the mosque leaving the suicide bomber dead with few others who were about to enter the mosque injured”. This is not the first time the mosque will witness an attack, as some boko haram members attacked and killed residents with Ak47 rifles near the Mosque in 2012. The incident took place at about 4:50am, leaving residents of Maiduguri into awe as it has been close to two months now without any explosion or gunshot within the metropolis.
