The Defence Headquarters has narrated Sunday’s suicide bombing at the 301 Battalion, Gombe.
Major General Chris Olukolade, the Director of Defence Information, revealed through a statement issued in Abuja that troops at a security check-point at the entrance to the barracks had intercepted the bomber.
He explained“Our men at a barracks entrance in Gombe intercepted a lady suicide bomber, while she was attempting to gain entry into the barracks.
“The lady suicide bomber primed herself with improvised explosive devices concealed under her Hijab.
“The troops, acting on an earlier tip-off that a terrorist group was plotting to attack barracks around Gombe using female suicide bombers, halted her.
“As she was being searched, the bomb detonated killing the lady.
“Unfortunately, one of the troops conducting the search also died, while another was wounded in the explosion,’’ Olukolade said in the statement.
He said that normal activities had since resumed in the barracks.
