How Army Averted Suicide Bombings In Borno, Gunned Down Suspected Female Bombers

Posted on by

The Nigerian Army on Friday announced that its troops shot dead two suspected female suicide bombers in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, averting what could have been another tragedy in the troubled city.

The spokesperson for the Army, Sani Usman, said in a statement that the attackers were halted by troops and men of the Civilian JTF as they made their way into the city before dawn.

Mr. Usman, a colonel, said, “The ever alert and vigilant troops of 7 Division Garrison based in Maiduguri, in conjunction with Civilian JTF averted yet another suicide attack on the innocent citizens in Borno State today.

“The troops intercepted two female suicide bombers at about 1.20am this morning, almost 100 metres south of Umurari village, outskirts of Maiduguri.

“However, one of the suicide bombers on sighting own troops detonated her explosive device, killing herself instantly, while the second bomber in an attempt to escape was gunned down by one of the Garrison snipers.

“The combined team of Nigeria Police and Nigerian Army’s Explosive Ordinance Device team safely detonated the unexploded Improvised Explosive Devices strapped on the gunned down suicide bomber.

“It is important to state that there was no casualty beyond the two suicide bombers. Presently, the troops and the Civilian JTF deployed in the village are now combing the general area to forestall further breach of security.

“The situation in the area is calm and law abiding citizens are going about their normal activities without fear.”

Then you’ve come to the right place…. No. Free casino games are basically the same games that you can play in real-money online casinos, but without real money involved. When you load any of the game, you are given a certain amount of virtual currency, which doesn’t have any real value. You can then play and increase your balance; however, you can never cash out the credits you accumulate in the game. Listen, obviously I know it’s gambling and I don’t expect to win everytime. In fact I expect to lose every time I deposit. . But to go through $219 in a span of 252 $1 spins, or Hitting bonuses after 800-1200 spins and winning $0, or Going 2500 spins without a single bonus are all remarkably bad stats. These things don’t happen on a regular basis at other casinos like the way they do here. The fact is your RNG produces the worst “losing streaks” in the industry.

    Maddison is expected to become Tottenham’s second signing this summer. The redesign of 1972 introduced a completely different badge; with the stylized bird in purple, outlined in gold, and enclosed into a thick circular frame with the top half colored yellow, and the bottom one — purple. The lettering was written around the frame in gold sans-serif capitals, supporting the outlines of the elements. This marks a significant departure in capacity and size from Tottenham’s previous stadium, but change has come in more ways than just aesthetics. English side Tottenham play their home matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is explained that despite Reguilon’s struggles at Atletico, the La Liga side believe they can help the 26-year-old ‘recover his level’ and produce the type of performances he previously did at Sevilla and Real Madrid.
