“The vigilant troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE today morning intercepted and neutralized a male suicide bomber at Madagali, Adamawa State,” said Mr. Usman.

“The suicide bomber was spotted by a vigilant duty sentry attempting to infiltrate troops forward defensive line along Madagali-Limankara road.

“He was gunned down by the vigilant sentry as he failed to stop when halted. The accurate shot also detonated the Improvised Explosive Device vest and was blown into pieces.”
This attack came amid ongoing negotiations between Boko Haram and the Nigerian government, that have seen the release of 21 abducted Chibok girls from nearly 30 months of captivity.

It also came three days after a car conveying suspected bombers blew up outside a popular bus station in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital. Eight persons were killed and 15 others got injured.
