Many innocent students and workers are feared to have died after a bomb exploded this morning near the library of Federal College of Education (FCE), Kontagora, Niger State.
Details are still being expected and there is no official statement on the incident.
The blast occurred barely two days after a sucide bomber disguised as student blew himself up at assembly ground of Government Science Secondary School in Potiskum, Yobe State, on Monday morning killing at least 47 people, most of them students.
The attack, like today’s, was believed to have been carried out by Boko Haram, the terrorist group which has stepped up its attacks after apparently fooling Nigerian authorities with a bogey ceasefire offer that slowed down the Nigerian military’s onslaught against the Islamists.
