In an effort to restore calm after the suicide bombing that rocked a secondary school in Potiskum, Monday morning, the state Government has ordered the closure of all schools in the town pending the improvement of the security situation. The order came as the state Commissioner Education, Alhaji Mohammed Lamin, confirmed that 33 students were killed in the suicide attack while 67 others sustained varying degrees of injuries. The Commissioner said 41 of the 67 injured had been taken to the Federal Medical Centres in Nguru, Yobe State and Azare in Bauchi state. Meanwhile, an angry mob of local residents prevented the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Markus Danladi, who visited Potiskum town along with the state Commissioner of Education, from getting to the scene of the bombing. - See more at: abujavoice/yobe-suicide-bombing-state-govt-closes-all-schools-in-yobe/#sthash.qDOdwCbt.dpuf
