It has been reported by Channels Television News that there was a bomb explosion at the Federal College of Education,Kano earlier today.
Security Personnel at the scene of the bomb attack on a
Federal College of Education in Kano, north-west Nigeria, have put the number
of persons killed at 15 while over 30 others were injured.
Two suicide
bombers that carried out the attack on Wednesday were among the dead persons.
An eyewitness said that the attackers entered the Arts
and Social Sciences building, firing indiscriminately at fleeing students
before the explosives went off.
“They came from the main gate and started shooting
people with gun. Any student they see, they will shoot him.
“They entered Art and Social Sciences and detonated
the bomb,” an eyewitness said.
The State Commissioner of Police, Adenrele Shinaba,
told reporters that lectures were going on when the suicide bombers entered the
classroom and dropped two explosives at the lecture theatre.
The area has been deserted as residents and students
scampered for safety, our reporter said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack,
but a terrorist group, Boko Haram that has carried out series of such attacks
in the north-east is major suspect.
