Three primary school students were killed and a teacher was injured when a machete-wielding man stormed a school in Borno state.

The school, Jafi Primary School has now been shut, and the attacker arrested.

The attack happened at about 9:30 am during break time.

Kasimu Ibrahim and Habibu Suleiman who witnessed the attack, spoke to AFP on Thursday.

Kasimu Ibrahim, who lives near the primary school, said the attacker - a man in his 30s - headed to the nursery section of the school.

Kasimu said: "He entered a class and began attacking pupils. He hacked two boys to death , aged about five and seven.”

He also said, a third victim - an eight-year-old girl - died on the way to a hospital in neighbouring Gombe state.

The teacher who managed to raise an alarm was struck in the hand and the attacker was overpowered.

Habibu Suleiman, who also lives nearby, gave a similar account.

Both said police took the attacker into custody and then to a hospital, where he was under armed guard.
