A male suicide bomber has blown himself up in Kaleri, a satellite community in Maiduguri.

The Borno State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Victor Isuku said the explosion occurred on Wednesday morning at about 5:30am.

The suicide bomber responsible for the attack and other foiled attempts is believed to have infiltrated the town through the Kaleri-Muna axis.

The Kaleri/Muna axis has become notorious as most of the explosions that have occurred in Maiduguri in recent times are either around the place or linked to the area.

The suicide bomber was the only one killed in the blast.

A week ago, four people including a Professor of Veterinary Medicine were killed in a suicide attack that occurred in the early hours of the morning at the University of Maiduguri.

Survivors say the attack was carried out by a seven year old boy who detonated his bomb while Muslim worshippers were praying at the junior staff quarters mosque.

Borno State Police Commissioner, Damian Chukwu, told journalists at the scene of the incident that four people had died in the attack.
