At least one person has been killed in a suspected
Boko Haram suicide bombing attack on the University
of Maiduguri in Borno state.
The attack, which happened on Sunday, was
reportedly carried out by female bombers.
Three persons were said to have sustained injuries in
the attack.
Danjuma Gambo, spokesman of the university, said the
first bomber targeted security operatives while the
second one was shot before she could carry out her
attack.
He said the three people who sustained various
degrees of wounds had been taken to hospital.
Victor Isuku, spokesman of Borno state police, also
confirmed the incident but said it claimed two lives- a
male suicide bomber and a security personnel, while
two others were injured.
He also confirmed that there were other suicide
attacks on the town that night.
“At UNIMAID only one male suicide bomber died. Three
university security personnel were injured. One later
died,” he said.
This is the third time the university will be attacked
within a span of two months.
Last month, the institution suffered two attacks in one
week.
