The Civilian JTF members have foiled a massive Boko Haram attack on Maiduguri, Borno state capital on April 8, Friday.
The four suicide attackers on a suicide mission were killed near Jimini village in Jere LGA area on the outskirts of state’s capital this morning.
Some JTF on guard spotted four teenagers wandering and asked them to raise up their hands but they denied and kept heading towards the vigilantes who murdered them.
A vigilant who revealed this to the journalists, said the teens wrapped improvised explosive devices around their bellies in an attempt to wreak havoc on Maiduguri.
“Four suicide bombers were sighted coming from the nearby bush at about 5:15am this morning but their plot to wreak havoc on the residents of Maiduguri was averted by our gallant Civilian JTF members stationed at the outskirts of Maiduguri. They were all shot dead, and none of them escaped,” he said.
In March, a Nigerian girl was arrested with explosives strapped to her body in Cameroon, near the Nigerian border. She set off a short scandal
when she said she was one of the Chibok girls, but Nigerian officials and Chibok parents denied her claim.
While army says Boko Haram’s capacity to seize and hold entire towns is reduced, the sect is still carrying out suicide bombings and other targeted attacks throughout the region.
