A suspected Boko Haram suicide
bomber this morning killed a police
officer who tried to stop him from
attacking a police station in
Southeastern Niger republic.
The suicide bomber and three others
were seen approaching the police
station when they were stopped by
the deceased police officer.
“They had their hands on their
stomachs, walking in the rain in the
direction of the police station. A
police officer tried to approach these
young men before they arrived at
the station but when he came closer
one of the men detonated his
explosives.
The three others started to flee, and
another officer who was there shot
and killed one of them at the scene.
The two others ran in an effort to
reach town. There was a real chase
but the officers finally caught them,”
a resident of the community said.
Niger is one of the countries in the
West African region that have
suffered major attacks from Boko
Haram.
