An attempt by another set of female suicide bombers to attack a community around the University of Maiduguri was foiled by security personnel about 4am on Monday.
No casualty was recorded except the two female suicide bombers, who were suspected to be agents of Boko Haram.
Their remains were deposited at the Borno State Specialist Hospital by the National Emergency Management Agency and Borno State Emergency Management Agency response teams.
There was a similar explosion on Saturday at a mosque close to Federal High Court, Jiddari Polo, where the emergency response teams evacuated the bodies of two female suicide bombers believed to have died in the incident.
Saturday’s explosion, which occurred at about 5.25am, affected four persons, who were transported to hospital.
