Suspected Islamist gunmen on motorbikes stormed a primary school in Nigeria’s main northern city of Kano on Tuesday and opened fire on teachers, wounding four of them, police said.
The attackers made teachers at Dan Maliki Primary School lie on the ground before shots rang out, a witness told Reuters.
No one claimed responsibility for the assault, but Islamist militant group Boko Haram – whose nickname means “Western education is sinful” in the northern Hausa language – has targeted schools before.
