  • From the character and nature of the attacks, these are not Boko Haram but cultists attack. The Nigerian security should direct their seach on the campuses of the three institutions where the attacks took place. They should also investigate some of the teachers in those schools who were known to be connected to cultism. The SUG of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi and the offIice of the Students Union Registrar should be investigated.
