32 students massacred in Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa state


    At least 32 students of the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa State, northeast Nigeria, have been killed.
The trouble began in the school at about 2 p.m. on Monday when the two rival students' groups who were about conducting an election of their union leaders began to accuse each other of revealing their secrets to security agents.


It was gathered that there was a strong disagreement between the two rival groups which compelled the school's authorities to invite armed policemen from the Mubi Police Divisional Headquarters to maintain peace in the school. According to sources, the two groups accused each other of revealing the source of their arms and ammunition to the Joint Military Task Force which raided Mubi town and discovered large arms cache in the area about two weeks ago.

 A student of the Polytechnic, who did not want his name mentioned, told our correspondent that the problem began at about 9 p.m. yesterday at Anwan Samiya area, a student dominated settlement located close to the institution, when the two groups engaged each other in a bloody shoot-out from 9 p.m. till 4 a.m. today.

The sources added that when the sound of gun shots subsided this morning, at least 32 students were reportedly killed while several others were seriously injured and were receiving treatment at Mubi General Hospital
