At least 42 students and one teacher were shot dead by suspected Islamist gunmen, radical Islamic section known as Boko Haram, in the northeast Nigerian town here on Saturday.
As per reports, the attackers set fire the Government Secondary School building in Mamudo town in Yobe state and shot pupils as they tried to flee.
The gunmen attacked students and a teacher in a boarding school, a police source said.
Some students were even burnt alive in the attack, police said.
While several students were being treated for burns, some were being treated for gunshots wounds.
Since 2010, dozens of schools have been torched and unknown scores of students killed among more than 1,600 victims slain by extremists.
Meanwhile, some of the survivors said suspected militants arrived with containers full of fuel and set fire to the school. So sad !!
