On Monday, the Nigerian army, said with the use of powerful assault rifles and home-made bombs, to foiled a planned attack staged by the deadly Islamic sect Boko Haram, in the north eastern city of Maiduguri.
According to Army spokesperson Colonel Sani Usman in a statement, said;
"nine terrorists sneaked into Maiduguri armed with AK-47 assault rifles and [a] Hilux vehicle laden with 20 improvised explosive devices".
The IEDs were "meant to be detonated at some selected targets in the city", Sani, added.
However, Usman did not elaborate in the statement about potential targets and refused to comment further when contacted by AFP to ask whether the nine had been arrested.
But he added: "We will let you know at the conclusion [of a preliminary investigation] what exactly they wanted to do."
