Boko Haram members have attempted to hit
the Federal High Court in Jidari Polo area of
Maiduguri, the Borno state capital on
November 18, Friday.
According to Sahara Reporters, the bombers
could not do much harm as Nigerian police
contingent stationed in a Catholic church
nearby killed the attackers made up of a
male and two females before they could
impose damage to anybody.
The sources noted that one of the bombers,
a female took off her suicide vest and ran
towards the security operatives with her
hands raised and was caught alive.
The attacker then set off her bomb which
killed her male partner.
Police officers in the state told journalists
that only the suicide bombers died in the
attack.
The female bomber on the team who
surrendered has been arrested and taken
into custody by the Nigerian army.
Before the Nigerian troops recapture
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state was
epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency,
Boko Haram has frequently used female and
child suicide bombers to mount their attacks,
particularly in the past year, as a Nigerian
and regional military crackdown has stripped
the group of the territory it once held.
