Boko Haram bomber blows self up in Borno market as civilian confronts him
2015-08-17
[DAILYPOST.NG] An attempt by a jacket wallah to attack and wreak havoc at Rumirgo Market in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State on Saturday morning was thwarted by a vigilante group member.

DAILY POST gathered that the suicide bomber heading to Rumirgo market was accosted by the security conscious civilian.

... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
member went kaboom! and was struck down in his prime.

The vigilante member, however, sustained injuries.

Troops nearby quickly moved in and rushed him to hospital for medical treatment.

The situation in the area is now under control with people going about their normal businesses.

Defence Headquarters had earlier in the week placed Nigerian troops on maximum alert to forestall further attacks in the North East region.

Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations, confirmed the incident.

He urged the public to continue to be more vigilant and security conscious.
