A lecturer told reporters that the number of dead could be as much as 40. He said that the gunmen wore military attire and told the students to identify themselves by name.
According to him, some of them were spared after mentioning their names but no reason was given by the assailants for the identification process.
The invaders used guns and knives in killing the students.

Several killings in the state have been carried out by a Muslim militant sect called Boko Haram which wants to convert the people of northern Nigeriato Islam by force and install a Sharia government....
The group is against Western education and influence and has been carrying out its violent activities since 2009 when its leader, Muhammed Yusuf was killed extra-judicially by the police. : Gunmen shot dead at least 26 students in an attack on their college residence in northeast Nigeria, a college spokesman said on Tuesday....
Sounds like more Islamic Hate again in Nigeria
Absolutely disgusting that a Hate Filled Religious Cult keeps getting a pass by the media. If this was a Christian group that did this...the liberal media would be calling for UN troops to invade
Our “liked” president seaks out only when his beloved Muslim bigots are “offended” over a youtube clip by a Christian...
Oh, come on! They were separating the Muslims from the Christians, of course.
Somebody finally had enough of the spammers.
Yes, that was an easy call. They clearly wanted to make sure that no Muslims were harmed in the making of this video....which they no doubt made, since they seem to have spent a fair amount of time killing thses poor kids.
