ANGER AS SUICIDE BOMBER KILLS 47 SCHOOLCHILDREN IN YOBE STATE

A   teenage   suicide bomber on Monday killed 47 schoolchildren and three teachers on   the assembly ground of the Government Comprehensive School in Potiskum, Yobe State.

At least 98 other students and teachers were   seriously injured in the incident which occurred hours after Northern governors called on President Goodluck Jonathan “to declare a total war and eliminate Boko Haram in our midst before the 2015 elections.”

Jonathan, who will on Tuesday(today) formally declare his intention to seek a re-election in 2015,     had shortly after the news of the schoolchildren’s killing, assured Nigerians that those behind the act would be apprehended.

Although no group has claimed responsibility for the Monday attack, residents believe that the bomber must be a member of Boko Haram.

A bomber had last week attacked a procession of Shiite movement in the town, killing   over 30 persons.
