The Borno state police command has disclosed that security personnel had successfully frustrated a suicide bomb attempt at the University of Maiduguri.

In a statement on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Joseph Kwaji, the command said security officers deployed to the area had neutralised a lone suicide bomber at the parapet of the university.

Kwaji added that the suicide bomber detonated explosive devices strapped to his body and killed himself alone, adding that there were no other casualties in the incident.

He said: “On Feb. 19, 2018, at about 19: 20 p.m, a male suicide bomber strapped with Improvised Explosives Device (IED), in an attempt to infiltrate the University of Maiduguri parapet, was promptly sighted by security operatives, who opened fire on the bomber.
