KANO: Nigerian police said they killed a "would-be suicide bomber" seeking to drive an explosives-laden car into state police headquarters in the violence-torn city of Maiduguri on Monday.

"Our men succeeded in killing a would-be suicide bomber who attempted to force his way into the police headquarters while screening for police recruits was going on," said state police commissioner Simeon Midenda.

He said bombs made up of seven gas cylinders and a number of other containers were found in the boot of the man's car. Some 1,500 recruits were on the grounds at the time for screening, he said.

"Our initial suspicion is the attacker is from the Boko Haram sect," said Midenda, referring to the Islamist sect blamed for scores of shootings and bomb blasts in Nigeria's northeast.

The incident comes the day before a committee appointed by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan to look into violence in the northeast is to submit its report to the government.

The committee was expected to recommend whether negotiations should be held with Boko Haram. (AFP)

Pakistani-afghanistan style. Nigeria is a gonner. Once these zombies are on the loose,nothing ever remain the same. I wish they can specifically target scums like obj,ibb,anenih,atiku,kalu and co,all the true nigerians will be on their side.

A man suspected to be a member of Boko Haram, the radical Islamist sect, has been shot dead by police in Maiduguri, Borno State, as he drove a car full of explosives, which failed to detonate, into the state’s police headquarters.

According to the Borno State Police Public Relations Officer, Abubaker Kabru, the man forcefully drove into the gate of the police headquarters and went straight towards the main building before he was gunned down inside his car.

Abubaker added that seven cylinders of gunpowder and several cans of petrol were found in the car.

This is coming at about the time when the committee set up by the president to look into the issue of the incessant bombings in the northern part of the country by Boko Haram is about submitting its report to the presidency this week.

The federal government also said last week that it will investigate military misconduct in Maiduguri where the Joint Task Force (JTF) has been criticised for its handling of attacks by Boko Haram.
