The Nigerian Army have averted a wave of suicide bombing attacks that would have killed scores of people in Kaduna as seven suspected Boko Haram terrorists found with various grades of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were arrested prior to carrying out their devilish act.
The military, in statement signed by Colonel Sani Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations said: “Another catastrophe was averted in Kaduna State and other contiguous areas when troops of the Nigerian Army arrested seven suspected Boko Haram terrorist’s bomb and Improvised Explosive making Devices (IEDs) specialists.
“The terrorists were arrested in Kaduna after painstaking surveillance and proactive intelligence operations over period of time. “From all indications, the suspects were in Kaduna to conduct suicide bombings, kill and maim innocent citizens in the state and other surrounding areas during the festive period.
“Recall that recently in Maiduguri some of them were arrested while trying to detonate IEDs carried in food containers in public places. “The arrest of these suspects would no doubt assist in the fight against terrorism in the country, more so as the military have technically defeated the Boko Haram terrorists in the field. “The terrorists have resorted to attacking soft targets through suicide bombings, IEDs and harassing attacks on isolated communities.
“Therefore, the public are requested to continue to be more vigilant and security conscious by reporting suspicious persons and movements to the security agencies. “This request has become necessary because the terrorists have resorted to mingling with the public across the country after sensing the futility of their encounter with troops in the north east. “Therefore, they adopt other methods of perpetuating violence in the society.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
