Another catastrophe was averted in Kaduna State and other contiguous areas by troops of the Nigerian Army, as they arrested 7 suspected Boko Haram terrorists’ bomb and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) specialists.
The terrorists were arrested in Kaduna after painstaking surveillance and proactive intelligence operations over period of time.
Colonel Sani Usman in a statement said the suspects were in Kaduna to conduct suicide bombings, kill and maim innocent citizens in the state and other surrounding areas during the festive period.
“Recall that recently in Maiduguri some of them were arrested while trying to detonate IEDs carried in food containers in public places.
“The arrest of these suspects would no doubt assist in the fight against terrorism in the country, more so as the military have technically defeated the Boko Haram terrorists in the field, the terrorists have resorted to attacking soft targets through suicide bombings, IEDs and harassing attacks on isolated communities.
“The public are please requested to continue to be more vigilant and security conscious by reporting suspicious persons and movements to the security agencies”, he stated.
