No less than four persons have been feared dead after three suicide
bombers attacked the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) on Saturday morning, a
security source said.
The three suicide bombers who strapped IEDs to their bodies were killed
at about 1:06 am on Saturday morning, when they attempted to infiltrate the
Department of Works of the University of Maiduguri in Borno State.
It was gathered that two university security personnel on duty were also
affected, with one killed from the explosions which occurred.
It is understood that two of the suicide bombers, who were stopped for
interrogation by security men at the university as they tried sneaking into the
university chapel, detonated their explosives killing one of the security men
and injuring the other.
A third suicide bomber hiding nearby stormed the chapel a few minutes
later, but security sources said he didn’t succeed in killing or injuring
anyone.
“A male and female suicide bomber struck at the mechanical works
department of the university,” a source said, adding that “One security guard
was killed and a soldier injured. The injured soldier has been taken to the
University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.”
The corpses have being evacuated by rescuers from the National Emergency
Management Agency, NEMA, and Borno State Emergency Management Agency, BOSEMA.
Today’s attack is the latest in a series of attacks by suicide
bombers, as it also marks the third in the premises of the University of Maiduguri in 2017 with a professor among
the victims of earlier attacks.
