launched an attack on students of the Federal Government College
Buni-Yadi Yobe state, killing 29 students (or more), Hausa Service BBC
reports. Some buildings in the school were also reportedly razed.
Sources at the school said the men invaded the school in the early hours of this morning while the students were still sleeping in their hostels and slaughtered them. Guns were not used in the attack as was the sect's usual practice, probably to avoid the attention of people. They used machetes.
