How aged female terrorist was arrested in Maiduguri with bomb in food flask
Security
agents arrested a suspected female suicide bomber who would have blown
up the General Shuwa Memorial Hospital, Maiduguri and killed the health
workers and the patients they labour hard to treat.
According to
Guardian,the suspected bomber, a fairly old woman, who was said to have
been confronted first by the hospital’s security guards, was arrested
after it was discovered that she hid an Improvised Explosive Device
(IED) in a food flask she was carrying.
She disguised as a relation
of a female patient who had come to present food at the maternity ward.
But when she was stopped at the gate to open the two food flasks she was
carrying before she could be allowed to proceed to the ward, she
refused to open one of the flasks.
One of the hospital’s security guards narrated the story to journalists:
“When
she was asked to open the other flask, she refused, swearing that she
will not open it. Our security guards have to call the soldiers at a
military post to ascertain whether or not the flask contains any
explosive. Three minutes after, the bomb detector beeped for some
seconds, indicating the presence of an explosive device, and the old
woman was immediately whisked way by the military personnel to an
unknown destination for further interrogation and investigation.”
On the identity of the suspect, he said that when the woman was asked about her place of residence, she responded that:
“I am an old woman from Chibok town, and I wanted to deliver food to one of my relations admitted here in this hospital.”

Another
tragedy was averted in Jos on Thursday following the discovery of
highly explosive objects neatly tucked in sacks and positioned
in-between a private secondary school, Tin City College and Fatima
Primary School,
The explosive was discovered by a pupil of the
primary school, who quickly alerted the school authority, while the
headmaster and other teachers dashed to the nearby Laranto police
station to intimate the police of the objects.
The police, who
suspected that the objects could be bomb, called in the state anti-bomb
squad, which arrived at the nick of time and cordoned off the area
before it defused the explosive.
