The death toll has been conflicting since yesterday, some said no fewer than 10 while some believed that only the bomber died, and two others were injured who is receiving treatment at Kontagora General Hospital. The incident caused panic among residents of the town as they started running helplessly and confused. Ahead of the decision of the college, many resident students vacated their hostels and took refuge in the town.
It was gathered that the female bomber was heading for the hall where many of the students were sitting for their examination, but got the timing wrong as the explosive she was carrying exploded in front of the school library, few meters to the targeted hall. She was immediately blown into two parts. While two others whose identity we're yet to be ascertained sustained injuries and were rushed to the general hospital in Kontagora for treatment. Niger State police spokesman, Ibrahim Gambari confirmed the blast by telephone from Minna. He said commanders were awaiting further details from officers on the ground.
The governor at a lecture to commemorate his 59th birthday said he has directed the security agencies in the state to increase the security apparatus in all the schools in collaboration with authorities of primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in the state to guard against a similar occurrence.
