According a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Borno State Police Command, Victor Isuku, “At about 0520hrs today (Saturday), two female suicide bombers with improvised explosives device strapped to their bodies attempted to enter a mosque at Juddumuri village, after the Federal High Court.

“They were intercepted and prevented by the Muslim worshippers. In the process, one of them detonated her vest, killing both of them and injuring five other persons.
