The first case of suicide bombing was reported by the police Thursday as the Inspector General of the Police Hafiz Ringim narrowly escaped what could have been an attack on him at Force Headquarters in Abuja.

Boko Haram, the religious fundamentalist group, promptly claimed responsibility for the blast, saying it now has in its fold freshly trained men who just retained in war-torn Somalia and have now been positioned all over the North to attack government offices.

In Borno State, four children were killed in yet another bomb attacked linked to Boko Haram.
