Members of the BokoHaram sect seem to be re-emerging
from their hiding places in renewed attacks on Yobe and Borno States, as the
suspected terrorists struck again in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on
Monday killing nine students writing examinations conducted by the National
Examination Council (NECO).
In a separate attack by the
group, a farming village of Alau Dam was also overrun where 13 persons
comprising fishermen and tea vendors were gunned down. Monday's attacks were
the third in a space of five days.
The sect had laid siege on
Gwoza hill in Borno State where they killed a clergyman and burnt down four churches
on Thursday, while on Sunday the terrorists attacked a school in Damaturu, Yobe
State where they killed seven students and two teachers.
It was gathered that five of
the students killed on Monday were sitting for the ongoing NECO exam at
Ansarudeen Primary/Secondary School, a private school in the Jajeri ward of
Maiduguri metropolis.
Eyewitness accounts revealed
that after storming the school, the suspected sect members opened fire on the
hall, moments after the examination started.
