Boko Haram Threatens To Bomb 18 Univerties , Uniben And UI.

Leaders of the sect said
yesterday that their
radar was now on
University of Ibadan
(UI), University of Benin
(UNIBEN) and 18 other
universities, which they
said they would bomb
between yesterday
(September 12) and
September 17.
Boko Haram sent an e-
mail last Thursday to
the mail box of UNIBEN
Registrar, notifying the
institution of its
resolve to bomb the
university as part of its
agenda to stop
western education in
the country. Last week,
there was a bomb
scare at the Lagos State
Secretariat, Alausa.

In the purported e-
mail, the Islamic Sect
gave September 12 to
17 as the target date
to detonate bombs at
the higher institution,
warning that the
message was "not a
threat, but a
notification which
must be strictly
adhered to."
