A suspected suicide bomber has been killed in an attempted infiltration into the Mogadishu Cantonment (popularly known as Abacha Barracks) in Abuja, after an Improvised Explosive Device he was carrying detonated.
According to military sources, the incident occurred around 2:14 p.m. of Monday, beneath the pedestrian bridge near the cantonment, close to a checkpoint where passengers are often dropped off before taking tricycles into the barracks.
One of the source said the suspect alighted from a Volkswagen Golf vehicle and attempted to move toward the checkpoint.
