HOURS after a suicide attack at a mosque in the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) in Borno State, in Nigeria’s northeast on Monday which led to the death of four persons, the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has asked the Federal Government to tell Nigerians the true state of the nation’s security.
Addressing newsmen in Ado Ekiti, the state’s capital, Governor Fayose alleged that contrary to claims by the federal government that it was winning the war against the insurgents, happenings in the past few weeks have clearly shown that Nigeria was being governed by propagandists.
The governor bragged that his party; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remained the only party which had better solution to the Nigeria’s challenges.
The Borno State Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu, confirmed the death of Aliyu Mani, a Professor of Veterinary Medicine, and three others to journalists.
Survivors also unearthed that the attack was carried out by a seven-year-old boy who detonated the bomb while some Muslim faithful were observing prayer at the Junior Staff Quarters Mosque in the school premises.
