NAF drones bombard Boko Haram strongholds

Yesterday, the military averted another  suicide attack on Maiduguri when troops intercepted two bombers who attempted to enter the city. The Media Coordinator of Operation Lafiya Dole, Col. Mustapha Ankas confirmed that the bombers were intercepted by military troops at Muna Dalti after fruitless attempts to infiltrate the city.

He, however, said there was no casualty other than the two bombers. Residents said two suicide bombers made desperate efforts to enter the city through the outskirts but were gunned down in the process.
