Gunmen, suspected to Boko Haram, opened fire in a student housing area near a polytechnic school in the northeastern Nigerian city of Mubi, killing at least 40 and injuring at least 15 others. In the following days the death count was raised to 48 and a curfew was imposed. It was later learned the gunmen personally knew their victims, specifically targeting Christians. The following week it was determined by authorities the perpetrators were in face Boko Haram. (Conflicting report: some sources have the attack occurring on 2 Oct, while other have the attack on 1 Oct, still others have differences in the causality count. ) |
