The Nigerian Army on Thursday announced that a combined team of policemen maintaining security duties at the entrance of Borno State Government Secretariat, in Maiduguri, intercepted and prevented a male Boko Haram suicide bomber from entering the place to attack workers.




 Colonel Sani Usman, Director Army Public Relations, in a statement said in the process of stopping the terrorist, he detonated the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on his body, killing himself, a policeman and critically injured another policeman who prevented him from gaining entry into the Secretariat Complex. He stated that the injured policeman died later, adding that 18 people that sustained various degrees of injuries have since been evacuated to hospital for treatment.

--> Troops have cordoned off the area and evacuated all workers from the Secretariat and reinforced security. “In addition, the Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD) and K9 teams have been mobilized to the Secretariat for screening until it is declared safe.

 “This unfortunate incident has reinforced the need for more security consciousness and awareness on the part of all of us as the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists and their sympathizers still mingle with the society. “It, therefore, behoves on all and sundry to ensure that they are detected and prevented from carrying out their dastardly acts,” the statement concluded.
