Nigerian military have thwarted attempted suicide attacks in the restive northeast, the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, the army has said.
Army spokesman Sani Usman said in a statement that troops killed a suspected female suicide bomber on Thursday when she tried to enter a military site in Yamtake in Borno state.
"The failed suicide bombing attack was followed up with futile probing attack by terrorists which was decisively dealt with by the troops," he said.
