Suspected Islamist gunmen on motorbikes
stormed a primary school in Kano on Tuesday and opened fire on teachers,
wounding four of them, police said.
The attackers made teachers at Dan Maliki Primary School lie on the ground before shots rang out, a witness said.
The gunmen attacked the head teacher and three other teachers, leaving them severely wounded, said police spokesman Magaji Musa Majiya. Boko Haram was the main suspect, he added.
None of the pupils was harmed.
“They made the teachers lie down on the ground, then there were gunshot sounds and everyone scampered to safety,” said Hauwa Jinjiri, a trader working on the school premises who witnessed the attack.
Meanwhile, residents of the area confirmed to Channels Television that all the pupils in the school have been sent back home with the entire area combed by the military Joint Task Force (JTF).
