The attack happened at a student hostel away from the Federal Polytechnic Mubi campus, the source said.
A lecturer told the BBC that more than 40 students had been killed but there has been no official comment.Please click to continue.
The reported killing comes days after a major operation against the Boko Haram militant group in the town.
The lecturer, who did not want his name to be used, told the BBC’s Hausa service that the students were asked to say their names after lining up.
He says it is not clear why some were killed and others spared – some of those killed were Muslims.
“Everybody is scared and staying indoors now,” he said.
He added that students were now leaving the town – they have dmolestd tree branches over their cars, which is a traditional sign of neutrality in Nigeria.
Boko Haram militants fighting to establish Islamic law in Nigeria have killed more than 1,000 people in northern and central areas this year.
Culled from the BBC.
Islam. The problem with the world today. It is not rocket science that they asked who was a christian and who was a moslem. Let us get more details but I am almost sure of it

ReplyDeleteWhy can't all these religious sects stop harming others and just try to love and accept everyone as they are. It breaks my heart.
