Suicide bomber kills 48 boys in Nigeria school Massacre

Kano-Nigeria
.
Boko Haram were suspected of killing
nearly 50 pupils in a suicide bombing
in northeast Nigeria ,in one of the worst
attacks against school teaching a so called
Western curriculum.

The explosion at the all-boys school in
Potiskum  is the latest in a series of atrocities
against schoolchildren in the  state of Yobe
and the second suicide  attack in the town
in eight days.

The massacre came just a day after the release
of a new Boko Haram video in which the
group's leader,AbubakarShekau again rejected
Nigerian government claims of a ceasefire and
peace talks.

There was an explosion detonated by a suicide
bomber .we have 48 dead and 79 injured'
national police spokesmen Emmanuel Ojukwu said
adding that Boko Haram was believed responsible.

Boko Haram which wants to create a hardline
Islamic state in northern Nigeria has previously
carried out deadly attack on school teaching
a so-called Western curriculum.

In February gunmen killed at least 40 students after
throwing explosives into the dormitory of a government
boarding school in BuniYadi

More than six month later 219 of the girls are
still being held.last Monday at least 15 people
were killed in a suicide bombing on a a Shia
religious ceremony in the city.

Yobe is one the three northeastern states that
has been under a state of emergency since
May last year to try to quell the bloody insurgency.

But  violence has continued unabated and Boko Haram
has seized at least two dozen towns and villages
in recent months raising doubts about the
government's ability to control the region.

Shekau ,who has previously expressed solidarity
with other  jihadi groups and leaders seemed to
associate territory under his control with a wider
.global caliphate.But he dose not submit to
the authority of any other leader.
