KANO: At least 10 people were feared dead yesterday after a suspected suicide bombing at a Nigerian teaching college as students were sitting exams, two days after a school massacre blamed on Boko Haram killed nearly 60 people.
The latest blast happened at the Federal College of Education in the town of Kontagora, Niger state, some 150km from the state capital Minna.
Nigerians have come to expect near daily Boko Haram attacks in far northeast but Wednesday’s blast will raise fresh concern if linked to the Islamist uprising.
Niger state has not been touched by the insurgency in more than two years and Kontagora is roughly 2,000km from Boko Haram’s northeastern stronghold.
