A female suicide bomber on Wednesday detonated a bomb between the library and auditorium of the Federal College of Education in Kotangora, Niger State.
The suicide bomber and two other females died from the impact of the explosion.
It was gathered that the examination of the National Business and Technical Examination Board for 2014 was ongoing when the explosion occurred.
The suicide bomber, who wore hijab, was said to be rushing towards the library when the bomb went off, leading to pandemonium.
Students scampered for their lives, jumping through the windows.
According to a student, Naomi Gana, who was lucky to have finished her papers: “I am still in shock because after I finished my exams, I sat under the tree waiting for my friend when the bomb exploded.
“I saw the bomber.
“She wore hijab.
“I saw her running towards the library and thank God before she got to the entrance, the bomb went off.
“The other two girls I am sure are just unlucky because they are students who were walking when the bomb went off.”
Eight persons who were injured reportedly sustained the injury while scrambling for safety.
One of them broke his leg.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Niger State, Gambari Ibrahim, did not deny or confirm the development.
Ibrahim only promised to get back to The Eagle Online.
