The Nigerian military, as well as the Yobe police command, are yet to give a figure of casualties or missing persons following the insurgents’ attack on the village on Monday night, February 19, 2018.
The school has been closed down while education authorities and security forces in the state began efforts to locate the missing students.

“As at today, both the parents and the school authorities are doing a headcount.
“The school has up to 900 students, some of them are on farms, some of them have not resumed.
