Vigilant troops of the 7 Division, Garrison Forward Operation Base (FOB), on Saturday morning averted yet another suicide bombing disaster on Ummarari community by a suspected Boko Haram terrorist.
The last suicide bombings in Ummarari village happened at a mosque and claimed ten lives.
Army spokesman, Col Sani Usman said that the suicide bomber was attempting to enter Ummarari village when he was spotted by a vigilant team of soldiers and Civilian JTF.
"The suicide bomber detonated the strapped Improvised Explosive Device (IED) vest on his body, thus killing himself instantly when he was forced to halt based on suspicion that he was carrying suicide bombing material.
"Thankfully, there was no other casualty other than the suspected suicide bomber.
"Troops along with the Civilian JTF at the village are now combing the surrounding area to forestall further attacks and clear the environment of likely remnants of Boko Haram terrorists hibernating," he said.
