Even as the police insist that the killings were purely student
election issues, they have also claimed that the dreaded Islamic sect,
Boko Haram is involved in the killings of over forty students in Mubi,
Adamawa State. This has been made known in an authoritative report by
the Vanguard.

According to the vanguard, the killings were perpetrated by an Islamic
sect and masterminds of the gruesome massacre were three students of
the polytechnic and one student of the Adamawa State University, Yola.
30 suspects, they claimed, have so far been arrested by the police in
connection with the massacre and among them are 12 confirmed members
of Boko Haram.

Investigations have revealed that all the 46 students massacred were
either the new leadership of the Students Union that were elected the
previous week or those that voted to elect the new leadership of the
union. And, the masterminds of the killings, belonged to the
opposition during the election for the Student Union Government who
had boasted that they cannot lose the election as there would be
consequences if they didn't win, a threat that was waved aside by the
generality of the students.

However, when the results were eventually announced and the opposition
lost, the three students who are also members of Boko Haram, got in
touch with their members for a revenge mission that was timed to occur
in the night when all the union leaders as well as their supporters
would be in their hostel. The murder was largely successful because
the killers knew the names, abode, movement and whereabouts of their
fellow students.

When, asked if there was a hint of ethnic cleansing in the killings,
police source had said it was purely election issues and that both
Christians and Muslims were killed. On what will become of the
arrested culprits and other suspects, the source said that as soon as
investigations were completed, they will be charged to court to face
appropriate penalties. Fingers crossed, this new argument will only
hold water if it was confirmed later on that all the students were
indeed from the same institution.
