Suspected members of the dreaded Islamic sect Boko Haram, recently set fire to an Experimental School, a private school in Ruwan Zafi area of the
Maiduguri metropolis.
This recent incident brings to four the number of schools set ablaze by the terror group within a week.
It was reported that the group had earlier burnt
down public primary schools in Budum, Abba Ganaram and Kulo Gomna, all
in the Borno capital.
The group, who’s motto is "western education is a sin," has already denied hundreds of school children
access to their classes for lessons.
A resident said "We heard an explosion at dawn around the school but everybody was afraid. Later in the
morning we noticed heavy smoke coming out of the school.
“By the time we checked about two classes were on fire, so we mobilised and stopped the fire from spreading,”
This incident was confirmed by a Police Officer
(PPRO), saying the police had opened
investigation to uncover the perpetrators, but added that no arrest had
been made.
