A suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber, Ibrahim Mohammed, captured by troops of Operation HADIN KAI in collaboration with hunters in Yobe State, has revealed chilling details of how he was recruited, paid and deployed to carry out deadly attacks on worshippers in Maiduguri, admitting that he received up to ₦100,000 for suicide bombing missions.

Ibrahim, who confessed to involvement in the December 24 suicide bombing at the Gamboru Market Mosque in Maiduguri, said the operation was planned and executed under the directive of Boko Haram commanders operating between Adamawa State and the Mandara Mountains.

Zagazola quoted him as saying during interrogation: “My name is Ibrahim from Michika in Adamawa. We came to Maiduguri to plant bombs in an Izala mosque. We were sent by our leaders, Adamu and Abubakar, who gave us two IEDs to plant in the mosque.”

The suspect disclosed that suicide bombing had become a paid assignment within the terror network. “I was paid money ranging from ₦70,000 to ₦100,000 per mission,” he said.

The Gamboru Market Mosque attack claimed five lives and left 32 worshippers injured, plunging Maiduguri town into confusion during the festive period.

Narrating how the attack was executed, Ibrahim said the operatives exploited periods when mosques were empty to plant the explosive devices.

“We came after Zuhr and Asr prayers when the mosque was empty. We entered pretending to pray. My colleague was digging to plant the IED in the middle of the mosque while I was digging by the side,” he said.

According to him, the devices were coupled and timed ahead of the Maghrib prayers.

“As Muslim faithful gathered to pray Maghrib, after the first raka’at, we detonated the bomb. We set the timing for five minutes. Shortly after, I ran to the market area,” he said.
