Reports from Yobe State indicate that about 29 students of
the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, were killed on Monday night while
they slept in their dormitories.
The spokesperson of the Joint Task Force, JTF, in the state,
Lazarus Eli, confirmed the attack to Aljazeera network. He however did not give
the exact number of casualties.
Mr. Eli said the gunmen “opened fire on student hostels.”
He said details are still sketchy due to lack of telephone
access and it is still not clear how many students were affected in the attack.
The outlawed Boko Haram sect is suspected to be behind the
attack which took place around 2 a.m.
The sect had carried out a similar attack in Yobe last
September killing over 40 students at the College of Agriculture, Gujba.
Also, earlier in July last year, Boko Haram carried out an
overnight attack on students of Government Secondary School, Mumoda, killing
over 40 students.
Mr. Eli said the military has already dispatched a team to
Buni Yadi to track and apprehend the killers.
Yobe, like Borno and Adamawa, has been under emergency rule
since May 2013 as the military tries to dislodge the Boko Haram insurgents.
Despite the emergency rule, hundreds of people have been killed in different
attacks in the affected states.
