A suspected lunatic has reportedly killed three pupils at a primary school in a town in Borno State. The man invaded Jaffi Primary School located at the outskirts of Kwaya, in Kwaya Kusa Loçal Government early Thursday, with a cutlass.

“He arrived the school wielding cutlass at about 8am today. He attacked the pupils and killed three of them, and injured more than five,” a security source at Kwaya Kusa said.

The source also said the assailant was later apprehended by residents and security personnel.
“He is with the police now,” a resident said.

There was no official response from the police in the state as at press time. Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu, could not be reached on phone.
