A Boko Haram female suicide bomber was captured in Ldaotsaf, Mayo-Moskota, in the Far North Region of Cameroon late Wednesday.
The unknown lady was about to denote an explosive device strapped on her but was hindered by Cameroonian troops who captured her and neutralised the explosives.
A spokesperson of the security forces in the area disclosed the information on Monday
“The individual discretely infiltrated into the village and was actually searching for a target were to detonate the explosive she was carrying in her body,” the spokesperson of the force said.
According to eyewitness accounts in the village, “There were three suicide bombers who entered the village supervised by combatants of the Boko Haram terrorist sect who had encircled the village and started shooting into the air”.
“People were running helter-skelter for fear for their lives. The suicide bombers took advantage of the confusion to mix with the crowd that was heading towards the military camp.
“The villagers who were armed with clubs and other local weapons took on the kamikaze ladies wounding one seriously. The wounded one was eventually finished off by the soldiers while her two companions succeeded in escaping unhurt.”
