Maiduguri – The Police Command in Borno on Friday denied reports of suspected Boko Haram insurgents attack on the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) campus.
The Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Lawal Tanko, made the denial in an interview in Maiduguri.
“The story indicating that the university had been attack is not true.
“What happened was that the insurgents passed through a river channel behind the university to launch the attack on the barracks,’’ he said.
Tanko said that the university campus was safe as both students and lecturers had been adequately protected.
He, however, confirmed an attempted attack on the Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, by suspected members of the sect.
