PHOTOS Of Bomb Blast That Rocks Kano School of Hygiene Technology Today.

Eight persons, mostly students, have been confirmed dead, 12 others injured in the suicide bomb blast that hit the School of Hygiene, Kano, today.

Briefing reporters on the scene,  the state commissioner of police,  Alhaji Adenrele Tasheed Shinaba, said the blast occurred at about 2.05pm when students were rushing to the school to undergo screening. The suicide bomber came with a rucksack on his back, pretending to be one of the students only to eventually blow himself up alongside his victims.

Shinaba revealed that 8 vehicles parked within the premises of the state owned tertiary institution were damaged as he ruled out car bombing of this latest attack. He also told reporters:

Every lead seems to point at suicide bombing. Unlike our previous experience none of the vehicles parked inside this school caught fire and there is no hole around to suggest a
car bombing but all leads are still open for investigation”.

The Commissioner further disclosed that lifeless bodies of the affected students have been deposited at the morgue, while the injured are receiving treatment at undisclosed Government Hospital.


He also said one suspect (pictured below) has been arrested and was undergoing interrogation at the police headquarters. He continued:

“The suspect is in our custody and we will get to know the motive behind the attack and who sent him on this deadly errand.”
