The strange men were said to have asked her to turn back, if she wanted to remain alive.

It was gathered that the teacher she took to her heels, but rather than running home, she went through the main gate to alert the school that had already gathered on the assembly.

Confusion in Babangida’s school over suspected suicide bombers

AN attempt on Maryam Babangida Girls’ Science College, Minna, Niger State, by two unidentified men was foiled on Thursday by an employee of the school.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the teacher, a female, was rushing to the school in the morning through a footpath, when she was attracted by foul odour of substance suspected to be Indian hemp and stopped to look around.

It was further learnt that she sighted two men who had already changed into the school uniform and were about to wear the hijab. On sighting her, they allegedly asked her to return if she wished to be alive.

Out of fear, it was gathered, she took to her heels and headed back, but rather than running home, she went through the main gate to alert the school authorities, as students had already gathered for the assembly.

When the students got wind of the information, it was gathered that pandemonium broke out, while the school authorities alerted the police, military and men of the State Security Service (SSS), whose quick arrival, it was further learnt, helped to calm frayed nerves.

Speaking with newsmen in her office, the school principal, Hajiya Fatima Madugu, said the information given by one of the teachers at 7.30 a.m. saved the school from being attacked.

Also speaking, the female teacher (names withheld) said she followed the footpath to get to school early and meet up with her 8.00 a.m. lesson, only to be accosted by two unknown men who asked her to return home, if she wants to be safe.

“I was really scared when I saw them almost dressed in the school uniform. They had already worn the trouser, shirt and about to put on the hijab when I sighted them.

“It was the smell of Indian hemp that made me look around. One of them just walked to me and said ‘go home, there is no school today. Go if you love your life’ and I just took off my shoes and ran back. But, instead of going home, I went to inform our principal on the assembly ground,” she said.

But, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Abiodun Gambari, said the men in question were lunatics, whose presence early that morning created fears in the school.

According to him, they were able to gain entrance into the school due to the porous nature of security in schools, but assured that adequate security would be given to schools by the police as well as security tips to help them in case of any eventuality.
