Islamists Shoot Dead 29 Students And 1 Teacher In Secondary School.

At least 29 students and a teacher have been killed after Islamic extremists attacked on a boarding school in northeast Nigeria. Survivors, who are being treated for burns and gunshots wounds, say some students were burned alive in the pre-dawn attack today on the Government Secondary School in Mamudo town in Yobe state. Farmer Malam Abdullahi wept over the bodies of his two sons, aged ten and 12. 'That’s it, I’m taking my other boys out of school,' he told The Associated Press. He said he had three younger children in a nearby school. Dozens of schools have been torched and unknown scores of students killed among more than 1,600 victims murdered by extremists since 2010. The attackers set fire to buildings and shot pupils as they tried to flee, according to Reuters. Several of the students were being treated for burns.
