Police on surveillance duty on Thursday night killed two male suicide bombers who were attempting to attack the school with bombs.
The police spokesperson, Victor Isukwu, said the suspected suicide bombers were sighted by police snipers at about 9:50 p.m. as they were about to scale the University of Maiduguri‘s fence, Premium Times.
“One of the suicide bomber was shot dead, while the second bomber hurriedly detonated IED strapped to his body, killing himself, to avoid being captured alive,” said Isukwu.
“It will interest you to know that the command recently deployed a full unit of PMF (Police Mobile Force) personnel, as well as guard and sniffer police dogs to the University, to compliment the presence of security personnel there.
“These deployments have started yielding the desired results, amongst which are, to prevent and nip in the bud any attempt by these enemies of peace to threaten the lives and safety of the University of Maiduguri community and its environs.”
