 Suicide Bombers Were Imported — Reps Allege


The House of Representatives on Tuesday alleged that the female suicide bombers responsible for the killing of scores in Borno State on Saturday were imported.


The lawmaker said this in a resolution after considering a motion of urgent national importance by Ahmed Jaha.


While condemning the attack, Jaha stated that findings showed that bombers were “recruited, brainwashed, and imported from outside the state” to carry out the suicide act in Gwoza. The attack had claimed over 30 lives.


He further argued that the bombings underscored the ongoing threat of terrorism in the country. The lawmaker informed the house that more than 180 people were critically injured, and currently receiving treatment in various hospitals in the state.


The House then urged security agencies to intensify efforts to prevent a recurrence.
