Heard it on the news . . . .

At least six people have been killed in a gun and bomb attack at a university in Nigeria's northern city of Kano, witnesses and police said.

A bomb squad and military units are searching for the gunmen who mounted the attack at Bayero University.

Reports suggest the violence may have targeted Christian students who were holding a religious service in one of the lecture theatres.

An army spokesman said several wounded people had been taken to hospital.

"The attack took place in one of the lecture theatres used as a place of worship by Christians," said Lt Iweha Ikedichi.

"There were casualties, but I don't have exact figures. Some have been rushed to local hospitals."

He said soldiers and police had surrounded the university and were searching for the gunmen.

Mohammed Suleiman, a history lecturer at the university, said security guards had to run for their lives when the violence broke out.

"For over 30 minutes a series of bomb explosions and gun shots took over the old campus, around the academic blocks," he told Reuters news agency.

A BBC Hausa service reporter had seen six bodies at the university, and local police said the death toll could be higher.

No group has said it launched the attack, but the Islamist militant Boko Haram group is active in Kano.

Boko Haram carried out a bombing in Kano in January that killed about 150 people, its deadliest attack to date.

Nigeria's central government has struggled to contain the militant group, which operates mainly in the predominantly Muslim north, but has also struck as far south as the capital, Abuja.

Its true o. Its true Lord av mercy

Sometimes I wonder for these oyibo people - always seem to know the news before GEJ or any Nigerian Govt official.

Hope GEJ watches 'Sky News' to know whats going on in his so called country.

In a few hours i'm sure he will emerge and state that 'he's on top of things' and the security forces have killed a few suspected (innocent) Boko Haramists.

I wonder what June will bring and when they will start moving southwards

This is true oooo

The marquee says six killed in church bombing in BUK

This bomb blast at B.U.K must to be set up.they just want to jeopadize the existing the peace & unity between muslims & christians.

Senior Prophet T.B Joshua prophesied it this morning during the first service and asked the congregation to rise and pray against it before it happened.
Lord have mercy and safe this country in JESUS name, Amen.

roy4real: Senior Prophet T.B Joshua prophesied it this morning during the first service and asked the congregation to rise and pray against it before it happened.

He would contacted and notified the students holding service in the theatre before the bomb attack.

nbl tech: I cant wait to welcome Biafran Republic by 2015.

That's exactly what am thinking, but it won't be cute. Most of us have millions of naira worth of investment over there in the north.
