Less than 24 hours after three suicide bombers attacked the University of Maiduguri, another bomber has tried to gain entry into the institution.

The Information Officer of the National Emergency Management Agency, North-East Zone, Abdulkadir Ibrahim, said the suicide bomber attempted to attack the university around 10 am on today.

He explained that in a bid to carry out the act, the adult male suicide bomber hid in the bush within the university surrounding.

“Unfortunately for him the IED, Improvised Explosive Device, exploded and killed him. No casualty was recorded. The corpse was deposited at Borno specialist hospital,” Ibrahim said.

The Borno State Police Command also confirmed the attack, saying in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, DSP, Victor Isuzu, that its EOD team were promptly despatched to the scene to sanitise and render the area safe.
