A female suicide bomber has killed two soldiers at a
military camp behind the Internally Displaced People's Camp in Mashimari town
of Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
It was gathered on Thursday that the bombing occurred at
about 7:30 pm local time on Wednesday when the suspect detonated an improvised
explosive device strapped to her body as the two soldiers approached her.
A team of investigators from the Army Command in Maiduguri,
the Borno State capital, later visited the scene of the bombing to confirm the
incident and commenced investigation.
It was also gathered on Thursday that normalcy had returned
to the military camp, although the Army was still monitoring the situation.
Suicide bombings have been fewer in recent months in the
Borno area as Nigerian troops intensify security of lives and property of
indigenes, although cases like Wednesday night’s confound the intelligence
network.
Two bombings have occurred at the University of Maiduguri
campus in the past couple of months, one which occurred during the Muslims'
early morning prayers leaving casualties in its wake while the other was
averted by local guard dogs.
