PRESS RELEASE

TROOPS AVERT MAJOR SUICIDE BOMB ATTACK ON GAMBORU TOWN

Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole deployed around Gamboru Ngala have successfully averted what would have been a major devastating suicide attack carried out by three female Boko Haram terrorists against innocent citizens in Gamboru town in Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State in the early hours of Tuesday.

Two of the suicide bombers, strapped with suicide vests had attempted infiltrating Gamboru town at about 6.45 am when they were sighted by a joint patrol team of vigilant troops and Civilian JTF at Unguwar Yobe area shortly before entering the town. They were halted by the patrol team from a safe distance and were ordered to unstrap their suicide vests, to which they vehemently declined. All efforts and entreaties by the patrol team to make the suicide bombers remove their IED vests failed as the duo adamantly approached the troops armed with their IED vests. They were immediately neutralised by the troops, while the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team (EOD) safely unstrapped and detonated the suicide vests.

A third female suicide bomber was detected and intercepted within the same general area and subsequently confessed to the joint patrol that she and the other two terrorists had been dispatched at about 3.30 am on Tuesday to unleash mayhem on Gamboru town. She also revealed the location she had hid her suicide vest and led the troops to recover it. The recovered vests and the surviving suicide bomber have been taken into custody for further interrogations.

We call on the general public to be more alert and vigilant, while going about their daily activities in their various communities to detect suspicious persons and inform the security agencies accordingly.

Please disseminate this information to the general public through your various news media.

Grateful for your untiring cooperation.

Don’t know what was being transported in this convoy but I can bet no BHT ambush happened on that day

NA can’t even decide what bikes they want !
I bet if they could they choose different engine options for the bikes that are the same.
They should change motto to “diversity assured”

This blog is my favorite defense blog. I open it everyday and these days it's kind of sour yk. Incomplete series like the French, Nigeria and China series and very predictable topics: Boko Haram and France you could also write about what we need, When, a timeline or so. You could apply pressure on the government to fund acquisitions or someone at DHQ could see it. You write so well. Thank you

I like the blog's anger and slight paranoia

Legendary South African Special Forces aka RECCE "Danny Roxo":


In 1951 Roxo was attacked by a LEOPARD, he had no knife or gun on him, leaving him to defend himself with his bare hands. He suffered some heavy wounds, but managed to strangle the beast to death, thus making the first entry in his list of legendary deeds.

In 1975 he was Ambushed by 11 Cuban soldiers after doing an operation to blow up a bridge. After some heavy gunfire went down, the rest of his team ran towards the noise, only to find all 11 dead before him, without him being shot once.

In 1976 his truck got hit by a landmine, and the vehicle landed on top of him, he was still alive for more than an hour, not making one sound of pain. He mustered enough strength to take out a cigarette and upon finishing it, he died.

RECCE?

Nicked name..

frumentius:
We know SA Special Forces operators are called Recces. Danny Roxo passed Recce Selection (at the age of 41 ) and then joined 32 Battalion. Passing Selection does not mean you're a Recce operator.
