Troops Discovers 11-Year-Old Child Getting ReadyTo Be A Suicide Bomber(Photos)

Vigilant troops of 7 Division Garrison providing security at

Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp, Dalori in

Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, Borno State on Tuesday

afternoon apprehended an 11-year-old boy, Master Usman

Modu Tella a potential suicide bomber.

He is suspect number 82 on the poster containing the

photographs of 100 wanted suspected Boko Haram

terrorists released by the Nigerian Army. Preliminary

investigation revealed that the suspect was from Bama

town and is among 4 other children trained for suicide

bombing by the Boko Haram terrorists.

He further added that the 3 others have already carried

out their missions at different locations. His job was to do

same in the camp sometime in the future.

The boy also pointed out one other Boko Haram senior

member, Alhaji Kerewu Abubakar at the camp.

It will be recalled that due to the concerted efforts of the

military quite a number of towns and villages hitherto

held by the Boko Haram terrorists were liberated, this

brought about an unprecedented influx of IDPs to the

camp which the terrorists took advantage and infiltrate in

order to wreck more havoc among the society.

The case of these suspects clearly indicated this point

hence the need for proper screening of all IDPs with a

view to ascertain their true identity.

The apprehension of the suspects is a boost to the fight

against terrorism and insurgency in that they were

assisting with investigation that would lead to the arrest of

more suspected terrorists in the camp and elsewhere.
