In their reaction, the police in Borno on Monday said two Boko Haram suicide bombers were killed in a failed attempt to attack displaced persons camps and the University of Maiduguri.

A statement signed by Victor Isuku, the Police Public Relations Officer, said the suicide bombers were killed by security operatives before they hit their targets.

“On Sunday at about 2115hrs, a suspected female Boko Haram terrorist, took advantage of the darkness of night and attempted to gain access into Dalori 2 IDPs camp through the rear perimeter fence.

“Fortunately, she was sighted by vigilant security personnel on duty and chased.

“In an attempt to escape arrest, she hurriedly detonated the IED strapped to her body, killing herself alone.

“The impact of the explosion destroyed a portion of the IDP camp fence.
