Suspected Boko Haram gunmen attack Nigerian College – at least 15 killed and 35 injured


Gunmen suspected to belong to the Boko Haram Islamist group have reportedly stormed a higher education college in northern Nigeria and fired on fleeing students and set off an explosion in an attack that killed at least 15 people and left another 35 wounded 35 dailymail.co.uk. The college was the Federal College of Education in Kano.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack in the region's main city of Kano, but the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, had been repeatedly targeting civilians in the north and is likely to be a prime suspect. Police that arrived at the scene have killed two of the attackers.
Incidentally, members of Boko Haram, whose name means 'Western education is forbidden', are fighting to carve out an Islamic state in Nigeria and keep targeting western-style schools. Their attacks have been involved in several secondary school massacres and the abduction of 200 school girls in April from the village of Chibok.
Of course, they do not attack schools that teach Islamic doctrines.
The administration of President Goodluck Jonathan along with the armed forces face of Nigeria have been criticized for their inability to counter the threats of Boko Haram.
