capital, yesterday, woke up to the shocking news of the slaughter of
twin teenagers by yet tobe identified persons.
The state Commissioner of Police, Patrick Egbuniwe, who confirmed the
incidence in Damaturu said the command was suspecting members of the
Boko Haram Islamic sect.
He also revealed that the oldest private school in the state, Yobe
Children's Academy, had also been burned down.
According to the Police boss, the cases of night killings and burning
of schools are on the increase in the state capital as the hoodlums no
longer use gun or explosive devices but resort to slaughtering of
their victims as sounds of guns and bombs oftenattracts immediate
response by security agents.
The Commissioner of Police who wonderedwhy the attackers will
slaughter 15-year-old set of twins said the incident occurred at about
10pm on Saturda.
He also stated that the Yobe Children's Academy was set on fire around
11 o'clockof the same day.
A staff of the school who spoke on condition of anonymity said 30
classrooms were razed as only the staff room, library and laboratory
were spared.
The school, according to him, has pre-nursery, nursery, primary and
secondary sections and currently with over3,000 student population.
He expressed grief over where the students will write the Junior
Secondary School Examination slated for today.
The school was established in 1992 and at the moment is one of the
leading institutions with good academic records with several of its
products excelling in high institutions at home and abroad and
internationally.
