It will  be recalled that last month, an explosion at the School of Hygiene, Kano, claimed no fewer than eight lives, and since then, every institution in the state, had mapped out strategies against such occurrence in their schools.

According to an eyewitness, “the pandemonium was caused around 2:oop.m, when most of the students were in the lecture rooms, when Mahmud drove into the school premises, but was followed by security operatives.”
While speaking with the Police Public Relations Officer, Magaji Majiya said,  “we were alerted when the incident occurred and we drafted our men to the scene,  adding that a man was arrested while his car was also brought to the police headquarter.”
The ppro said they did not find anything incriminating inside the car, no bomb nor any explosive item, but stated that the car was in their custody.
