The Borno Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has deployed 50 armed personnel to check incessant attacks at the University of Maiduguri. Its Commandant, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, told newsmen on Monday in Maiduguri that the measure was necessitated by the rising cases of suicide bombing and other attacks at the institution.
