August 31, (THEWILL) – Gunmen, on Friday, attacked the Faudiya School in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State, killing at least three students.
The Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Dungus Abdulkarim, said one of the students who got injured had been taken to an undisclosed hospital where he’s receiving treatment.
Suspected to be members of Boko Haram, Abdulkarim said the assailants who rode into the school premises on motorbikes, wielding AK-47 rifles, attacked the school at about 3.44am on Friday, shooting sporadically.
While the Police had commenced investigations on the attack, Abdulkarim added that a teacher who managed to escape told the police that the attack came as a surprise as there was no confrontation with any member of any armed groups.
The Islamic school is owned by the Muslim Brotherhood Movement, a Shiite sect.
