Bomber With Two Bombs Kills Self At Borno Checkpoint. by Fatdon(m): 7:41pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
A bomb went off on Monday at a checkpoint on the outskirt of Maiduguri as a suicide bomber was about to be apprehended, a member of the youth vigilance group, Yunus Idi, told our correspondent on the telephone in Maiduguri. He said the suicide bomber, who was on his way to Maiduguri from either Mainok or Benesheik, died in the explosion that caused severe injuries to four other persons, two members of the youth vigilance group that tried to search him and two women with whom he boarded a taxi. Idi said the taxi driver claimed he suspected that one of his passengers carried a strange object. He said the driver decided to stop and park at the checkpoint at Njimtilo near Maiduguri, pretending to want to take time out to ease himself. The motorists was said to have secretly told the youth vigilance members at the checkpoint that he suspected one of the passengers to be carrying an object which might be a bomb. According to him, the vigilance group members subsequently ordered the passengers to disembark from the vehicle. The suicide bomber was said to have detonated the bomb on him to escape arrest, killing himself and injuring four others. Idi, who said the incident occurred at about midday, revealed that the casualties figure could have been higher if the second explosive the suicide bomber carried had exploded. www.punchng.com/news/bomber-with-two-bombs-kills-self-at-borno-checkpoint/ |
