The Nigeria police reported that another female
suicide bomber died in an attempt to bomb,
Northwest University in Kano on sunday at about
around 1pm. The female estimated to be about
16 years old, was
walking suspiciously towards the gate of the
university when police guarding the area spotted her,
isolated her and called for reinforcement from
female police officers adept at handling Muslim
females.
The State Police Commissioner, Aderenle Shinaba
who confirmed the incident while briefing newsmen
in Kano, said 13 other persons sustained injuries.
He said the attack at Kofar Nasarawa was carried out
around 12.05 p.m. by a 16-year-old girl suicide
bomber who wanted to cross over to the university.
"The girl loaded herself with explosives and her
target was the university and in the course of
preventing her from going to the university, she
detonated the bomb and injured five policemen.
"Five out of the security personnel stationed at the
place sustained injuries, while the girl blew herself
off instantly,'' the police commissioner said.
