Boko Haram bomber gunned down by Troops in UNIMAID
A Boko Haram bomber was shot dead by a soldier as he attempted to infiltrate University of Maiduguri through the works department on Sunday, April 9.
He was killed trying to infiltrate University of Maiduguri through the works department. It was reported by The Punch that the bomber entered the University through the back gate with the aim of penetrating the school before being gunned down dead by a vigilant soldier. Also, public relations officer of the school, Mr Tanko Ahmed, also confirmed the botched attack on the institution. The spokesperson said the incident occurred around 11pm on Sunday night, April 9. He said the works department where the incident occurred has been cordoned off by security agents to render the area safe. In another version of accounts, Sahara reporters said the foiled attack on the institution was carried out by two male bombers who were stopped by dogs from wreaking havoc on the academic community.
"The bombers blew themselves up as soon as they sighted the dogs barking at them as they could no longer help the situation. "They came in through the back door and were prepared to denote the bombs before they were sighted by the dogs which prevented them from unleashing mayhem on the university community," a staff of the university, Abubakar Mohammed said. It is recorded that, this will be the second a bomber will be attacking University of Maiduguri after the first attack in January that claimed the life of a professor of veterinary medicine and four others.
In another incident on Saturday, April 8, some gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram Terrorists, opened fire at private and commercial vehicles along the Maiduguri-Damboa road.
It was reported that the vehicles that were attacked were those going to southern part of Borno state from Maiduguri, the capital. As gathered from Daily Trust, shortly before taking off, some gunmen suddenly appeared and shot sporadically, killing and injuring many.
