Eyewitnesses said the suicide bomber, who was carrying an Improvised Explosive Device, approached the institution located along Bayero University, Kano road.
Security agents have since cordoned off the scene of the incident as officers of the Police bomb squad have begun investigations.

The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adenrele Shinaba, confirmed the deaths of the suicide bomber and two persons as well as the seven persons who were injured.

He said “The teenage female suicide bomber sneaked into the crowd and detonated the Improvised Explosive Devise she concealed leaving on its trail death and destruction.”

Shinaba said the impact of the blast blew the suicide bomber into pieces, adding the charred remains of the female suicide bomber had been
deposited in a morgue.

He enjoined residents of the state to be extra vigilant and report suspicious movement to security agents for proactive action.
