HORROR: How Boko Haram Killed 40 Students In Their Hostel














Just imagine what these people who call themselves Boko Haram has done:
“From the accounts of teachers and other students who escaped the attack, the gunmen gathered their victims in a hostel and threw explosives and opened fire, leading to the death of 42.”
“It was a gory sight. People who went to the hospital and saw the bodies shed tears. There were 42 bodies, most of them were children. Some of them had parts of their bodies blown off.”
Gunmen believed to be members of dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, on Saturday killed about 42 people, mostly students, in an attack on a secondary school in the restive Yobe State, which is still grappling with life under emergency rule.
Medical workers and residents who spoke with the press describe gruesome details of bullet ridden bodies and people who suffered burns and serious injuries.
“We received 42 dead bodies of students and other staff of Government Secondary School (in) Mamudo; some of them had gunshot wounds while many of them had burns and ruptured tissues,” Haliru Aliyu of the Potiskum General Hospital told Agence France Presse.
Note that Mamudo is about five kilometres from Potiskum, the commercial hub of Yobe. The state has been a notable flashpoint during the insurgency mounted by Boko Haram in recent months.
Haliru Aliyu said that security personnel were combing the bushes around the school in search of students who were believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds. “So far six students have been found and are now in the hospital being treated for gunshot wounds,” he added.
A local resident who did not want to be named also said that many sustained gunshot wounds.
He said the attack was believed to be a reprisal by Boko Haram for the killing of 22 of its members during a military raid in the town of Dogon Kuka, also in Yobe on Thursday.
So far, violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has left some 3,600 people dead since 2009, including many that were killed in worship places.
You may wish to know that Boko Haram means “western education is evil”!
