A suicide bomber was intercepted and neutralized by a combined team of troops of 7 Division Garrison and Civilian JTF just as he was about to enter Suleimanti mosque near Maiduguri to attack worshippers in the early hours of Wednesday.
A team of Explosive Ordnance Device, EOD personnel was on hand to detonate the unexploded remainder of the explosive devices on the suicide bomber.
Five worshippers were injured in the failed attack.
Army spokesman, Col Sani Usman said in a statement he issued on Wednesday that, "the Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu visited the community shortly after the incident.
"He commiserated with them and reminded them of their civic responsibility to arrest or report suspected persons who usually reconnoitre their domain before carrying out suicide attacks and reassure them of the military and security agencies’ commitment to their safety and security."
