Chaos is currently the state of students in Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Adamawa State. 19 Students of the school were shot dead by yet-to-be identified gunmen who invaded an off-campus student hostel at about 11pm last night.

The Nigerian Police Force officially confirmed that the unknown gunmen, called out the names of the student victims before killing them.

Six other persons including a security guard, retired soldier and other persons who were not students were also killed. Fifteen students sustained serious injuries and are hospitalized, said Adamawa State Police Command Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Ibrahim in a phone interview.

“We are just leaving Mubi with the Commissioner of Police, and Brigade Commander. And it was 19 students that were killed… all in all it was 25 persons that were killed. Although the investigation is continuing, there are signs that there may have been some internal factors, but we cannot prove it until we complete our investigation”, Ibrahim said.

A report from a student said that the gunmen wore Military Uniforms and called out the students by their individual names before killing them.

The student said the killings were likely to have a connection with last Sunday’s Student Union Government elections, which was heavily contested on regional ground between Northern and Southern students in the institution.

This massacre was said to have lasted for over two hours. TWO HOURS and no sign of rescue? God save Nigeria
