Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members attacked Faudiya Islamic School in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State early Friday morning, killing three students, according to the Yobe State Police Command. Police spokesperson, Dungus Abdulkarim confirmed the attack, which occurred around 3:45 am.
According to the statement, the assailants, who arrived on motorcycles, wielding dangerous weapons, invaded the school with the initial intent of abducting students. However, they decided to kill the students on the spot to avoid the 'burden' of taking them into the forest. One student, who attempted to escape, sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
“We mobilized our men, and they went there and evacuated three dead persons and one with a bullet wound who was admitted to the hospital,” Abdulkarim told reporters. He further explained, “The attackers came on motorcycles, about 10 of them, carrying deadly arms such as AK-47 rifles and other items. “They entered the school and took four of the students, killing three instantly and injuring one person.
