It has been learnt, however that the extremists intentionally spared the female students.
According to the officials, female students at the co-ed school were spared - and that the attackers instead told them to go home and get married and to abandon their
Western education (Boko Haram - meaning "against Western education").
It would be recalled that the attackers set a locked dormitory on fire in the early hours of Tuesday. The terrified students escaped through the windows, they were shot and their throats were slit. Some were burned to ashes.
The massacre was followed by violent reactions by Nigerians and top politicians, urging the authorities to put an end to bloodshed in the country.
