See the Numbers of Female Suicide Bombers Arrested After Multiple Explosions in Borno
Authorities have intercepted two female suicide bombers in connection with the recent improvised explosive device (IED) blasts in Gwoza, Borno State, that occurred on Saturday.
A local government official, who spoke to FIRST CLASS GISTS, revealed that 30 female suicide bombers were deployed to Gwoza with the intent to detonate IEDs at various locations within the area. So far, four of these bombers have carried out their deadly missions.
One of the bombers, originating from the Pulka axis, panicked and detonated her IED during military interrogation at a checkpoint, resulting in her death as well as the deaths of a soldier and a civilian JTF member.
The women infiltrated Gwoza from various points, including Pulka and the Mandara mountains. Security forces remain vigilant, actively searching for the remaining would-be bombers to prevent further attacks.
