Nigerian army foil suicide bombing attempt at unimaid
According to reports, the Nigerian Army has foiled a suicide bombing attempt at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) in Borno State, Nigeria.
Details of the incident are still emerging, but it is reported that the would-be suicide bomber, who was identified as a female, was intercepted by the army at the university's entrance gate. The bomber was said to have been wearing a suicide vest and was attempting to gain entry into the campus.
The Nigerian Army's 7th Division, which is responsible for securing the university, received intelligence about the planned attack and quickly responded to the situation. The bomber was reportedly shot and killed by the army before she could detonate the explosives.
No casualties have been reported, and the university has been secured. The incident is being investigated by the authorities, and it is unclear at this time whether the bomber was affiliated with any specific terrorist group.
This is not the first time that UNIMAID has been targeted by terrorists. The university has been attacked several times in the past, and it has been a major concern for the authorities and the academic community.
The foiling of this suicide bombing attempt is a significant success for the Nigerian Army and a testament to their efforts to secure the country's institutions and protect its citizens.
