Officials Deny Militant Attack On Government High School In Kano
Several officials have denied earlier reports that gunmen attacked a national unity high school-Federal Government College- in Kano late night.
SaharaReporters called several officials of the National Emergency Management Agency in Abuja- all of them said there was no record of an attack on the boarding school or its neighborhood in Kano.
Also, the Commandant of the Airforce base in the troubled city told our reporters that he heard the rumor via text message, but he stated that his checks on the area did not produce any information about an attack.
The police spokesperson in Kano did not return calls.
POLICE OFFICIAL STATEMENT DENYING ATTACK
The attention of the Police High Command has been drawn to rumours
currently being peddled in both d social and other mass media to d
effect dat Federal Govt Colege Kano is being (or had been) attacked by
gun. This is FALSE in its entirety. It is not just a wicked rumour but
a very dangerous one - capable of causing panic and untold
pychological trauma on parents and relatives of students of d school
and also unwittingly drawing d attention of d enemies to an
institution that they might not have considered as a target in d 1st
instance.
We therefore wish to appeal to members of d public to always
cross-check their stories/information with appropraite authorities b4
publishn same. Our doors are open and we ready to entertain and attend
to all enquiries- even at odd hours.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police and other Security agencies will
continue to do their best to ensure d adequate protection of d lives &
property of all Nigerians at all times.

It's not so bad you messed
It's not so bad you messed the news up, what matters is that nobody got hurt. I do physical therapy at home and I was wondering yesterday if I wouldn't do more good in a country at war, due to the fact that I could heal some of them.
It's very good this was only
It's very good this was only a rumor, some parents can't afford to go and check the facts for themselves, because they live so far away from this school. I can imagine the mayor and the police have no masters of organizational leadership, but really, they shouldn't base their news on a written message alone.
I am not a psychologist or
I am not a psychologist or nurse, but our children are dozens of times more likely to be killed by violence than fire, and thousands of times more likely to be seriously injured by violence as compared to fire. Yet, in any school you can look around and see fire sprinklers, smoke alarms, fire exits, and fire extinguishers. If we can spend all that money and time preparing for fire (and we should, since every life is precious) shouldn't we spend time and money preparing for the thing that is far more likely to kill or injure a child?
When I first signed in for a
When I first signed in for a teacher's career, I knew it will be tough, but I have never thought at it as being among top ten most challenging careers. The teachers here should have their wages tripled, because their job also involves surviving and protecting the innocents.
From what I could understand,
From what I could understand, the attack happened near the school, it wasn't intended at the school itself. It was good it happened late at night, though, imagine what would have been if they had decided to strike in the middle of the day. That's why I've always said we need more people that have a career in nursing in these troubled times.
Anyone reading your crap
Anyone reading your crap would think there was a basis for it. But of course, like most works of fiction, it unravels at the end. So Boko Haram which has been plaguing GEJ's administration, costing billions in security, is all of his own doing? You certainly need a fertile imagination to conjure up such a scenario. So, all those incoherent crap your Islamist idiotic brothers have been posting on the internet have been engineered by GEJ? Could he not have done a lot more for his pet project of electricity for all with that sort of money? Instead the country is broke.
Oh! I noticed that you called him by his middle name. It definitely has a ring don't you think sucker?. Fcuking ignorant malam.

ALL OF YOU IDLE ILL INFORMED AND BADLY BROUGHT UP SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN SCOUNDRELS WHO LOVE INSULTING MUSLIMS, ISLAM AND THE PROPHET SHOULD SPEAK UP AND RUN YOUR USUAL CRAZY COMMENTARIES ON THIS. AFTERALL YOU POSTED YOUR USUAL RUBBISH ON THE EARLIER REPORT. MAD MISBEGOTTEN BASTARDS!

SR again!!!
Up Sahara Reporters! Rumour Mongers!! In this your report of the so called incidence, you didn't even have the courtesy to say "Unconfirmed reports have it that . . . " as most professional journalists do; and now, it is confirmed to be nothing but a pile of lies. SR, go up and read the kinds of unwarranted tension caused among parents; insults, and hostilities among the citizenry caused by your level of incompetence!!! Sometimes, I wonder if Sahara Reporters itself is an agent of unity or destruction! What a shame! It is only in Nigeria that such a thing goes free without any kind of litigation. And to all of you commenting here, this is part of a reason why you should just be carefull with what ever you read on medias like SR, else, you are simply led to passing wrong judgements!
