Death Toll Rises To 78 In Yobe Student Attack by Nobody: 8:52am On Oct 01, 2013
The death toll at the College of Agriculure, Gujba ,Yobe
State has risen to 78. At least 50 of them were
students who were attacked in the early hours of
yesterday morning as they slept in their hostel. Some
were shot, others were butchered with swords and
knives. The gunmen, suspected to be Boko Haram sect
members later moved to houses around the hostel,
killing residents they find. Then they blocked the
Damaturu-Maiduguri road and killed travellers. So far,
78 bodies have been counted, with many more people
still unaccounted for. A student of the college who
survived the massacre explained what happened...
"They started gathering students into groups
outside, then they opened fire and killed one
group and then moved onto the next group and
killed them. It was so terrible. They came with
guns around 1a.m. and went directly to the
male hostel and opened fire on them. The college
is in the bush, so the other students were running
around helplessly as guns went off and some of
them were shot down.”
The gunmen stormed the hostels in two double-cabin
pickup all-terrain vehicles and on motorcycles, and
were dressed in military camouflage. They attacked 4
male hostels but avoided the only hostel reserved for
girls. Swords and knives were used to kill at least 30
male students. Some corpses that were found were
without heads while others had heads hanging to the
bodies. Wailing parents and relatives were at the Sani
Abacha Specialist Hospital mortuary in Damaturu this
morning to identify their loved ones. This can't
continue. This government has to do something about
the situation.

^^^The sad thing is that when this whole rubbish kicked off, a large part of the northern elite were secretly happy, thinking that they're making the country ungovernable for that Ijaw 'usurper'; and hoping it would change the nations demographics (for political/electoral reasons) by reducing the number of Christians/southerners in the north.

Now they've unleashed a monster they can't tame or control, it has turned round to consume them!

But the 7 rebel governors aint concerned about this.Their interest
Is in how to capture power in 2015.Prof.Ango Abdulahi is not
interested in the massacre of innocent people in the north.He wants
2 capture power 4 the north come 2015.Will there be people remaining
in the north by 2015 to govern if he eventually captures power(God forbid)
If these mallams are not concerned about all these killings,should I be the
one to cry more than the bereaved?
