The place was later cordoned off by security agents. Thousands of parents rushed to the school to inquire about their wards. In the premises of the school, human bones, flesh and other parts were littered on the ground, while there was blood all over the place.Ī lecturer in the school, who was crying when Blueprint met him, said he could not say whether some of his children, who were in the school writing their exams, were affected. Some students told our correspondent that some of them were writing their exams, while others were doing their registration when somebody from nowhere entered their midst and detonated something in a leather bag, which turned out to be a time-bomb. He called on all school authorities to fortify their schools to avoid such attack. “It didn’t dig a hole, did not cause fire and vehicle was not used.” The police boss expressed surprise over the nature of the bomb used. Shinaba said the bomber must be aware that the registration of new students into the school would end by yesterday. The commissioner added that they evacuated eight bodies of male and female students, who had been cut into pieces, to various hospitals. The suspect had received several cuts inflicted on him by onlookers, he said. He said the police immediately arrested a suspect who was trying to escape from the school in a car. The state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Aderenle Shinaba, told newsmen at the premises of the school that he was in one of the local government areas of the state when he heard about the sad incident and rushed to the place.
