A number of gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram have attacked a teacher training college in Kano.
Gunshots and an explosion have been heard at the school while students were seen fleeing from the city’s Federal College of Education.
One student told the BBC by phone that he had seen 17 dead bodies at the scene.
It is not clear who was responsible, although suspicion will fall on militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.
“Our men are already there. I’ve called them and they’ve said the crowd is too big. We are yet to establish the exact number who were injured or killed,” a military spokesman said.
Nor was it clear who was responsible for the attack, although suspicion will fall on militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.
