Police find time bomb inside Bayero University, Kano

Twenty-four hours after terrorists launched simultaneous attacks on two Christian worship centres at Bayero University, Kano, the police have discovered a time bomb within the university campus.

On Sunday, gunmen had attacked the chaplaincy of the institution’s old campus and left over 20 persons, including two professors, dead.

“The bomb was carefully concealed at the Sociology department of BUK. Luckily, it had not exploded when it was discovered. The effect would have been devastating if it had,” he said.

The spokesman of BUK, Mustapha Zaharadeen, also confirmed the story. He said the discovery of the unexploded bomb had saved the university community and the entire state another calamity.

Meanwhile, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, on Monday said he was not overwhelmed by the rising spate of bomb and gun attacks unleashed on parts of the North and Abuja by the Boko Haram sect.
