Boko Haram terrorists have attacked a school in Potiskum, Yobe State, reports say. The insurgents opened fire after gaining entrance into premises of the College of Administrative and Business Studies at about 8am on Friday, May 8, 2015, according to The Associated Press.
A suicide bomber was said to have blown himself up inside the school compound while a second explosion occurred within a hostel in the school but the students were already in their classrooms. The attack has been confirmed by a security officer and a hospital worker, who said that five students were shot while another 45 are being treated for injuries sustained as they jumped out of windows and over walls to escape. No official confirmation has however been given by security agents in the state.
