11-Year-Old Child Prepared To Be A Suicide Bomber Discovered by army

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.
You are please requested to
disseminate this information to the
public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind and usual
cooperation.
