It was gathered that the incident happened on Thursday night, November 9, 2023, while the students were heading home.

A voice in a video posted from an undisclosed hospital said three other students were also hit by bullets.

“Fulani herdsmen attacked our students, they were going home after school; one of them was shot dead; four students were shot, one died instantly; they have done enough,” the man explained.

“See the corpse of the little student they have murdered; this one is unconscious. We are praying that God will sustain her; she sustained four bullet wounds. This was done by the Fulanis operating at Eke-Egede Road; these are the ones that survived; the government should come to our rescue. Our place is now a death zone.”
