Terror group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing of a mosque at the University of Maiduguri on Monday. Leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau made the claim in an audio message on Youtube.
The attack, which security officials said was carried out by a seven-year-old, killed a professor of Veterinary Medicine and four others.
Shekau boasted in the audio message that Nigerian troops did not kill any of his men in Sambisa and warned that more of such attacks should be expected. The attack on the university was the first since the insurgency began.
The Boko Haram leader said the attack was because the mosque was mixing Islam with democracy.
“We carried out the University of Maiduguri Bomb at the mosque. We did it because they are mixing Islam with democracy. We carried out the attack in the morning and I am speaking to you this evening. Here in Maiduguri and you will see more of this attacks.”
