Three suicide bombers were killed in the early hours of Saturday when they attempted to infiltrate the Works department of the University of Maiduguri, UNIMAID, in Borno State, Premium Times reports.
A security guard at the University was also killed from the explosions which occurred at about 1:10 am, with one soldier reportedly injured.
The corpses have being evacuated by rescuers from the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and Borno State Emergency Management Agency, BOSEMA.
Security agencies are yet to make any comment on the latest attack which happened exactly one week after Boko Haram swapped 82 Chibok schoolgirls with some of its commanders held by the Nigerian government.
The suspected Boko Haram attack is the latest in the series of suicide bombings on Borno communities. It also marks at least the third on UNIMAID this year with a professor among the victims of an earlier attack in January.
