Suicide Bombers Kill Selves, Soldier In Borno

Twin male suicide bombers suspected to be members of Boko Haram sect,
Tuesday evening, detonated their explosives at a check point around the
Gomari Airport Round- About killing a soldier including themselves.
This explosion is coming barely 12 hours when twin suicide bombers struck
in neighbouring Damaturu, the Yobe state capital where 6 people including
the suicide bombers lost their lives with 26 injured.
Gomari is a populated community of Jere Local Government Area of Borno
state which is part of Maiduguri metropolis.
The explosion which shook the vicinity also injured 4 passersby at about
10:22pm when the curfew time of 9:30 imposed on the city of Maiduguri
had elapsed.
Sources said, the suicide bombers were riding on a tricycle after the curfew
hours, and when they were asked to stop and park by the military and
some of the civilian JTF members who were on patrol at the checkpoint,
they immediately complied by the order.
The source said after they (suicide bombers) parked and both alighted from
their tricycle, they were asked to come closer to one of the military
personnel to identify themselves, unfortunately, when they approached the
soldier and some of the civilian JTF members, one of the suicide bomber
detonated his Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) strapped to his body
killing themselves, while the soldier who was critically injured died before
reaching hospital for treatment. Details later
