UNIMAID MULTIPLE BLASTS A SIGN THAT GOD IS KEEPING US – EYE WITNESS

As earlier reported the entire University of Maiduguri community was thrown into pandemonium on Sunday, 25th June 2017 as a great number of suicide bombers invaded the University from a yet to be ascertained route. According to some eye witness reports the suicide bombers were alleged to have alighted from a taxi behind Unimaid security office and drove off with possibly some more bombers towards Entrepreneur Center of the University.

The first blast took off at about 10 pm inside the Unimaid security office where a mother of three was reportedly killed alongside other University Security personnel and the building was grossly dealt. After that one series of other blasts were heard from different directions within the University premises.

The attacks however gave birth to a traumatic drama which eye witness say simply portrays the power of God and shows how merciful God has been to us. One of the Suicide bombers according Joseph Wilfred and Mark Bitrus who were within the premises of the All Saints Catholic Chapel entered the Charismatic Upper Room with his explosive tied round his waist at  about 1:05 am. The suicide bomber stayed in the room for over 40 minutes with Mark Bitrus who was deeply asleep with the door shut, shortly after Joseph sneaked out.

They said the suicide bomber later started screaming (Allahu Wakbar) right inside the Upper Room which prompted them to take to their heels. It was the Catechist Mr. Badaki (who is presently receiving treatment at the University Clinic) that was courageous enough to go after the bomber who he said he hit multiple times before the bomber hit back injuring the Catechist on his nose. Also in the Hospital is one Janet a student final year of the Department of Pharmacy who was shot by the local vigilante while she was trying to escape from the church during the multiple explosions.

The bomber scaled over the All Saints fence after which an explosion ensued right behind the fence.

Nigeria Federation of Catholic Students (NFCS) is a body encompassing catholic students in all high institutions of learning. Its history can be traced back to 1920 when the idea of catholic students unionism came up; an internal catholic study union (ICSU) was created in swiss with George de Montenach as the president to deepen the urgency for reconciliation in a world torn apart by the first world war. During the late 1920s, the students society charged its President; Montenach, secretary; Max Gressly and father Tschunor to deepen the contacts with other student group, Dr. Gerald Brom, the then General Secretary of the Netherlands Catholic Association of Students responded quickly to this effort and a coalition of the students from three neutral countries during the war was created; Switzerland, Holland and Spain.
