The killing of students of Federal Polytechnic Mubi at Yelwan Tsamiya (an off campus accommodation area) in Wuro Patuji area of Mubi North Local Government of Adamawa state, has caused an exodus from the town by both students and staff of the institution.

A lecturer from the school on condition of anonymity told Daily Trust on phone that he learnt that about 40 bodies had been deposited at Mubi General Hospital Mortuary.

Some of the fleeing lecturers of the polytechnic, who are not authorised to speak for the school, told Daily Trust that they saw, at least, 10 truckloads of soldiers and mobile police men moving in to the troubled North-Eastern town.

After the killings, which were said to have been carried out around 10pm by gunmen that stormed the students’ village in Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), angry students stormed the school carrying leaves and branches in protest, stopping the second semester exams that was schedule to take place today.

Some of the students were said to have converged at the resident of the rector of the school with their luggage as early as 7am.

As a result of the mass movement of people from the town, the vehicles in the town’s motor park have been exhausted, with those not lucky to board the polytechnic’s buses ferrying people to Mararaba area, trekking the 15-20 kilometres distance to get vehicles that will move them out of the town.

The BBC had earlier reported that, “at least 20 students have been shot dead by unknown gunmen in Mubi, north-eastern Nigeria,” a police source has told the BBC.

“The attack happened at a student hostel away from the Federal Polytechnic Mubi campus,” the source said.

A lecturer told the BBC that more than 40 students had been killed but there has been no official comment.

The reported killing comes days after a major operation against the Boko Haram militant group in the town.

The lecturer, who did not want his name to be used, told the BBC's Hausa service that the students were asked to say their names after lining up.

He says it is not clear why some were killed and others spared - some of those killed were Muslims.

“Everybody is scared and staying indoors now,” he said.

He added that students were now leaving the town, many with tree branches over their cars- a traditional sign of neutrality in Nigeria.

Mubi is in Adamawa state, which has a mixed Muslim and Christian population and borders Borno state, where Boko Haram came to prominence in 2009, staging an uprising in the state capital, Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has not yet commented on the Mubi attacks.

It is fighting to establish Islamic law in Nigeria and has killed more than 1,000 people in numerous attacks across northern and central areas this year.

God just has to intervene in the Nigerian situation, because Its very obvious that the authorities can no longer handle members of the so called club.

Therefore, I would enjoin you to keep praying for our beloved country.

I believe President Jonathan once said,if Nigeria wishes to divide,they would be a mass emigration of southerners from the north down to south.

Now what does he have to say to this?

What kind of govt is this, dat stays silent n ineffective in d face of terrible crimes like this? Smh

its better the students move out of that town...cos that place is about to turn into a battle ground...there's gonna be a major crackdown on terrorists' hideout...

Indeed , no one said all Muslims are terrorists , however we are talking about a recurring pattern of events.

Not all Muslims are part of this Club or abide or even adhere to it's tenets.

I am referring to those who support this madness and scream peace in the process.

Thanks,

Well the fact that Muslims students were killed is no surprise since we all know from current and historical affairs that the main victims of terrorism are Muslims themselves.

Should we now rejoice because they killed their own people, or do you think we are like you.

I don't care if the dead are Christian or Muslim, they are all human beings.

Have u ever asked yourself "blasphemous" question like, where was God when blood suckers maim innocent souls in His name?

Islam, islam, islam, wethn harmless students do una na? Nawa o!

Indeed I will my brother, we are living in very scary times, the end is indeed near.

Divid this contraption called "NIGERIA" now.

what are students doing in the north? and mubi of all places? anybody who justifies killing innocent students, the future of this nation is just a blood thirsty serial killer...bleep boko haram if it's them but i'm also hearing that they called the students out by name fueling speculations of a cult war/school politics.

who else ask for your name or religion b4 they strike you dead?

meeen this is one single attempt that coth so many young pple.....i aready knew they would face the schools cos it so easy to kill enuf there.....pls hear me now..if you have any body schooling in the north..tell them to make a change now...thats der new focus ..they v not been doing this cos of the mixup ,but now they v found a way...to realy defrentiate the muslims from the christian...take heed

this got me speechles meen...40 souls gone in 20munites...realy realy sad

It's the southern elite (traditional rulers, politicians, clergy, etc) that i blame. If not, tell me how these lilly-livered individuals that pass for leaders of their respective zones/ethnicities can sit by and only mouth protestations and take umbrage over these wanton and senseless killings of their children in the north, just so 'one indivisible united naijeriah' can continue?

These goons (the south, plus christian Plateau and Benue) need to call a meeting immediately in which they give the core/moslem north an ultimatum to fish out the murderers in their midst and put an end to these senseless killings being carried out b'cos they're angry a southerner is President (or b'cos they want to ethnically cleanse the north of christians/southerners- with an eye on 2015); i know this is one of the things the 'political' boko haram is hoping for, so they can cause kata-kata for the President, and then hopefully -with the threat of disintergration- the army would take over. But we need to make a stand once and for all, and make it clear that this nonsense cannot continue....these animals don't know the value of life since they attach little value to theirs in the first place.

We are just not like-minded, and the sooner we realise this and part ways with these dirty vermin, the better for everyone.
