Boko Haram Attacks Students Again! Kills Over 50 Students At Yobe State College Of Agriculture

Gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect struck Yobe State College of Agriculture in the early hours of Sunday today, killing at least 50 students of College of Agriculture, Gujba.
The bodies of the victims are currently being picked from bush and hostels, where the gunmen shot the harmless students. Injured students were moved to Damaturu Specialist Hospital. While surviving students have fled the College.

Reports say the Islamic extremists attacked the students in the dead of night, gunning down dozens of students as they slept in dormitories and torching classrooms in an ongoing Islamic uprising in northeast Nigeria.
According to the school's provost:

"They attacked our students while they were sleeping in their hostels, they opened fire at them," he said.

Most schools in the area had closed after militants on July 6 killed 29 pupils and a teacher, burning some alive in their hostels, at Mamudo outside Damaturu.
But the state commissioner for Education, Mohammmed Lamin, called a news conference two weeks ago urging all schools to reopen and promising protection from soldiers and police.
