Islamic
extremists have killed 29 students and one teacher in an attack on a boarding
school in north-east Nigeria.
Survivors
being treated for burn and gunshot wounds say some students were burned alive
in the attack before dawn on the Government Secondary School in Mamudo town in
Yobe state.
As
he wept over the bodies of his two boys, farmer Malam Abdullahi swore he would
withdraw three remaining sons from a nearby school.
He
complained there was no protection for students despite the deployment of
thousands of troops since the government declared a state of emergency in
mid-May in three north-eastern states.
Dozens
of schools have been torched and unknown scores of students killed among more
than 1,600 victims murdered by extremists since 2010.
