Another day, another suicide bomber, geezZzzz!!!

A female suicide bomber blew up an explosive device inside the Federal College of Education, Kontagora, Niger State at about 11:45 a.m. Nigerian time today. 

A student at the school, Musa Ibrahim, told SaharaReporters that the bomb instantly killed the suicide bomber and left two female students critically wounded. 

A security source, who confirmed the violent event, said he believed the suicide bomber was heading for the lecture auditorium to detonate the explosives, but missed the target as the bomb exploded near a photocopying cabin.

Our sources disclosed that the neck and lower body of the bomber were mutilated, adding that the identity of the dead bomber was yet to be ascertained. But one of our sources described the female bomber as in her mid-20s, adding that her ethnic identity was unclear. 

Security agents reportedly arrested another bomber at the institution and handed her over to the military at the artillery regiment in the town of Kontagora. The alleged second bomber is said to be under intensive watch at an undisclosed hospital in Kontagora. 

The suicide bombing at the school in Kontagora came barely 48 hours after a similar attack in Potiskum that killed 49 students.

Until now, Niger State had enjoyed relative peace since the 2012 bombing attacks on churches in Madallah and Suleja. 

It would be recalled that just two days ago, a suicide bomber pretending to be a student of Government Science Secondary School, Potiskum detonated a bomb during the early morning assembly of the school, killing himself and about 35 students, with over 80 others injured.
