Boko Haram attack College of Adminsitrative studies ,Potiskum,Yobe

Gunfire and an explosion came from a business school in Potiskum, Yobe state.

An Associated Press reporter watched soldiers and police officers rush to the College of Administrative and Business Studies in Potiskum, where they have engaged the attackers in a firefight. .It was too early to know if there are casualties.

The gunmen arrived around 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) and opened fire at the school gate, witnesses said. Security guards ran away and it was not immediately clear if they had guns.

The attackers kept shooting as they jumped the school wall and detonated a bomb at the student dorm, according to witnesses who spoke on condition of anonymity because they fear reprisals. They said they believed most students were already in classrooms.
