PREMIUM TIMES reported that within three hours on 29 June, female suicide bombers detonated improvised explosive devices at various locations in Mararaban Gwoza and Pulka. A factional Boko Haram leader, Ali Ngulde, controls the territories from his Mandara Mountain camp. He added, “We will make sure that we work around the information and see other protective measures that we can put in place across all our custodial centres.
But when contacted over the development, the Director of Defence Media Operations, at Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters, Edward Buba, a major-general, said he had not received any information concerning such a threat. On 28 March 2022, some terrorists suspected to be ISWAP/Boko Haram terrorists also attacked the Abuja-Kaduna bound train and abducted some passengers.
