« on: October 02, 2012, 08:12:11 PM »
Gunmen have opened fire in a student housing area in northeastern Nigeria, killing more than 10 people.

The attack happened in the town of Mubi as student elections were underway at a Federal Polytechnic school.

The area has been hit by violence blamed on Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram, but officials haven't ruled out the possibility that the attack was linked to the student elections.

Boko Haram Says Not Behind Mubi, Adamawa Students Killings
« Reply #1 on: October 11, 2012, 09:09:10 AM »
The insurgent group, Jama'atu Ahlis Sunnah lil Da'awati wal Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, has denied carrying out the attack that claimed the lives of dozens of people most of them students in Mubi, Adamawa State, last week.

A man who claimed to be a senior member of the group, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES yesterday, said his group had nothing to do with the killing of students in Mubi.

"We have no business with students or student politics. If students are our target we would have killed them randomly on sight and in their school and not sneak on them in the creeping darkness in an area occupied by both students and residents," he said.

He said the mode of attack is not characteristic of the sect's numerous attacks. "Several press releases by our spokesman and Imam in the past have made it clear who our enemies are, I don't have to repeat it here. I don't think anybody amongst us has the time to draw up a list or read it out before executing the students," he said. Source
