What Boko Haram Did To Us That Night -Student Reveals

Do you know that Nigerians are now living as
refugees in Niger Republic? That is the reality of the
matter, sad as it is. As you read this, tens of
thousands of Nigerians have gone to Niger to
escape from the latest wave of attacks and bombings
by the deadly sect, Boko Haram, that continue to
operate with impunity.

One of the students who was shot by the terrorists
but managed to survive, said:

"I was shot on my left leg, while I was sleeping.
When I woke up, I could not walk and was later
taken to the girls hostel where the insurgents
gathered us with the female students. They selected
some of the female students and went away with
them, while they left some of us groaning in pain
from gun shot".

The words of 14yrs old Ibrahim Musa Lampo, a JSS
2 student of Federal Government College, Bunu Yadi
in Yobe State who was one of the lucky survivors of
the Boko Haram massacre on Tuesday, which
claimed the lives of over 40 students. The
insurgents also burnt the hostels, classrooms and
more during the attack.

Ibrahim who recounted his experience while
groaning in pains was receiving treatment for
gunshot injuries at the General Sani Abacha
Specialist Hospital, Damaturu.
His mother, Hajiya Lampo, who was sitting beside
him on the hospital bed lamented government's
inability to protect the lives of the innocent
students. She appealed to the Federal Government
to "provide security for all unity schools in Nigeria,
particularly in the north eastern region of the
country by constructing a fence that will shield the
students from intruders."

Meanwhile, condemnations continue to trail the
massacre of the innocent students.
