I was in shock when I read that suspected Islamist gunmen have killed 50 students. The students were shot dead as they slept in their dormitory at the College of Agriculture in Yobe state. It is said that Boko Haram is fighting to overthrow Nigeria's government to create an Islamic state, and has launched a number of attacks on schools. In June, Boko Haram carried out two attacks on schools in the region. In July in the village of Mamudo in Yobe state, Islamist militants attacked a school's dormitories with guns and explosives, killing at least 42 people, mostly students. Boko Haram regards schools as a symbol of Western culture. The group's name translates as "Western education is forbidden".
I am lost for word. How can humans do this to fellow humans? This is a cowardly act in every form. Shooting innocent children who are the future of the country. These evil killers cannot hide under any religion. There is just no justification for this act. I pray for all the innocent people caught up in terror caused by these demons. My prayers are especially with victims and their families in Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan.
