A deadly explosion has occurred at the
Federal College of Education, Kontagora,
Niger State, the state police said.
The Niger State police spokesperson,
Ibrahim Gambari, said an unidentified
female suicide bomber struck at the school
on Wednesday, killing herself and injuring
three others.
Police bomb units have deployed to the
scene, he said.
A witness said however that at least one
person was killed. That could not be
confirmed.
“She detonated her bomb vest between the
auditorium and the college library. She
might have been on her way to the
library,” Aisha Kontagora, who lives in
Kontangora, told PREMIUM TIMES.
Ms. Kontagora said so far only the suicide
bomber and a young boy, believed to be an
Almajiri, died in the attack.
Niger State lies next to Abuja, the Nigerian
capital.
