Soldier Kills Suicide Bomber In Maiduguri

BY MELVIN UCHE – MAIDUGURI – Soldiers stationed at the University of Maiduguri, Borno State, on Sunday night shot dead a suicide bomber who attempted to infiltrate the university through the Works Department.
The suicide bomber, it was gathered, entered the university through the back gate, with the aim of penetrating the school before being gunned down by a soldier.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the school, Mr Tanko Ahmed, said the incident occurred around 11pm on Sunday night. He said the Works Department where the incident occurred has been cordoned off by security agents for safety.
This will be the second time a suicide bomber will be attacking the University of Maiduguri, after the first attack in January that claimed the life of a Veterinary Professor and four others.
