A witness who spoke to newsmen said the bomb was concealed in a polythene bag and was planted between a faculty block and the administrative building of the university. The explosive devices were found hidden in various locations.
Witnesses told NigerianEYE that as soon as the first explosive was discovered frightened workers and students began to withdraw to safer locations.
But as soon as more discoveries were made panic began to set in and many moved out of the school to the adjoining community.
When security agencies arrived they blocked all roads leading to the university and set out to comb the premises for bombs and other explosives.
The police public relations officer (PPRO), Gombe state command, DSP Fwaji B Attajiri confirmed the story to newsmen adding that they were discovered in time before they exploded.
He said the anti bomb squad moved the devices into a valley outside the university where they safely detonated them one after the other saying that no one was harmed.
Mr Fwaji who advised residents to go about their businesses saying the security agencies had brought the situation under control.
Our correspondent gathered that shortly after the incident police men raided areas around the university and arrested dozens of suspects. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteNa wa for the report writer.I remember,someone had sometime ago corrected this bad grammar 'DETONATE' The right word is DEFUSE.
ReplyDeleteWell,it was Baba God that took control o.These heartless animals who have killed many.They are killing for what and for who?God?The have lost their minds.
That who have been Ileya(Salah) means of joy for them.Killing for Allah or God,no one understand!Animals!It's better Muslim Clerics start coming out to preach to Boko Haram instead of them keeping quiet.The Clerics need to come out now because they are praying together with Boko Haram to the same god(Allah).
ReplyDeleteAbeg Mr Anonymous Big grammer. Detonated is when the bomb is made to go off while watching from a safe distance, defused is when it is disabled and never goes off. The bombs in the report above actually went off, so the right term is detonated!.
