Nigerian troops in Konduga, Borno State, have intercepted and destroyed a vehicle laden with Improvised Explosive Device (IED) meant for suicide bombing operation by Boko Haram terrorists.

A PRNigeria report said the military destroyed the vehicle this morning, thus aborting the latest in the series of recent attempts being made by terrorists to make incursions into the town and other surrounding communities.

“While undisclosed number of terrorists was killed, no personnel or civilian was affected in today’s incident,” the report said, quoting a top military source.

The said source urged residents to always report suspicious movements as well as strange people to appropriate authority for investigation and appropriate actions.

He said: “What we need from Nigerians is their supports, their encouragements and prayers to enable us overcome this insanity from unrepentant terrorists!”
