A female suicide bomber laden with explosives, Wednesday, blew herself up along with two graduates of the Aminu Kano College of Islamic Studies. The incident occurred while graduates of the school were checking their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posting.
Kano state police commissioner confirmed that two students were killed.
President Goodluck Jonathan has also issued a statement deploring the attack, the fourth of it’s kind to be perpetrated by a female suicide bomber in Kano.
Jonathan also deplored the attacks on two mosques in Potiskum, Yobe State on Tuesday.
He condemned the repeated targeting of worshippers, and innocent students who are the nation’s future by depraved terrorists.
“The president believes that the callous attacks on soft targets fully affirm that the terrorists’ are nothing but bloodthirsty adherents of a warped and retrogressive ideology,” Jonathan said in the statement signed by Reuben Abati, the presidency’s spokesman.
“No amount of intimidation and violence would stampede the government into abandoning its goal of giving education a new lease of life and opening up access to all young Nigerians who wish to improve themselves.”
Jonathan, therefore, directed the armed forces, Police and other national security agencies to further enhance security around educational facilities in states prone to terrorist attacks.
Two female suicide bombers had blown themselves up at a trade show and a petrol station in Kano on Monday, killing one other person and injuring at least six others.
On Sunday, a female suicide bomber killed herself but no one else while trying to target police officers.
