Two male suicide bombers killed by vigilantes in Maiduguri State

The Civilian JTF in Maiduguri, Borno state this morning shot dead two male suicide bombers who attempted to attack a mosque at Kusari area near CBN Staff Quarters in Maiduguri.

Sahara Reporters learnt that the suicide bombers attempted to strike the mosque after many Muslim faithfuls converged there for their early morning prayers.

A member of the Civilian JTF who spoke on the incident said

"Our elders sighted them in our community roaming around, so our they called them and tried to know their identities because their faces were strange to us. Instead, they started running, and we pursued them, shot and killed them. There were IEDs wrapped on their bodies that did not yet explode. We thank Allah for saving us from the evil men that had wanted to wreak havoc on residents of Maiduguri. It could have been deadly if they hit their target".
