Survivors being treated for burns and gunshot wounds said some students were
burned alive in the attack on Saturday which has been blamed on a radical terror
group.
Gunmen, believed to be from Islamist sect Boko Haram, stormed the premises of Government Secondary School in the town of Mamudo in Yobe state at around 3am, setting fire to parts of the complex.
Dozens of children from the 1,200-student school escaped into the bush and have not been seen since.
Parents rushed to the school and screamed in anguish as they tried to identify the charred and dead bodies of the victims.
