Suspected terrorists gun down 3 secondary students in Yobe
Suspected terrorists have gunned down no fewer than three students of Faudiya School in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The school which belongs to the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) was attacked by the assailants at about 3 am on Friday, August 30, 2024.
The gunmen, who haven’t been ascertained whether they are members of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgency group or bandits, rode into the school premises on motorbikes, wielding AK-47 rifles.
Sources revealed that the victims were asleep when the gunmen attacked the school premises, took the students outside and shot them dead.
The Yobe State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, confirmed the development.
Abdulkarim said he “received a distress call that some hoodlums came on motorbikes with AK-47 rifles and then entered into the school and shot dead three,” adding that one of the students who got injured had been taken to an undisclosed hospital where he’s receiving treatment.
The state PPRO noted that a teacher who was in the school managed to escape and told the police that there was no sort of confrontation with any member of any armed groups, saying, “It came to him (the teacher) as a surprise.”
Abdulkarim added that an investigation has commenced as the police are working to “unravel who is behind it, the purpose and credible witnesses who might have seen the incident.”
