The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said a suicide bomber who rammed into a
military check point in Bajoga, Gombe State on Tuesday failed to achieve
his mission.

Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday, Major-General Chris Olukolade, the Defence
Ministry’s spokesman said that the culprit’s attempt to escape failed as
he was brought down by vigilant soldiers when he tried to flee after
hitting a military Armoured Personnel Carrier with his IED laden Honda
car.

Gen. Olukolade said that the explosives which failed to detonate have been
evacuated and handed over to the police.

General Olukolade went on to announce that security forces in Kano raided
terrorists’ hideout in Nasarawa Local Government Area leading to the
arrest of bomb making experts.

He said the bomb making experts “are already helping in the investigation
into activities of bombers lately.”
