Three female suicide bombers were on Tuesday intercepted by vigilant security operatives, around Mamanti village in the Molai area of Borno.
The suicide bombers were conveyed by a motorcycle and dropped at a distance when the security operatives sighted them.
In the process of being sighted, the suicide bombers hurriedly detonated the IED strapped to their bodies, killing themselves only.
According to the PPRO Borno Command, DSP Victor Isuku, there was no civilian causality recorded.
The police EOD team were promptly drafted to the scene to sanitise the area and normalcy have been restored.
