vice principal and some other teachers.
She said: “My name is Aishatu Abdullahi. I am a Senior Secondary (SS)
student of GGSS Dapchi.
“I was in the school when the Boko Haram insurgents came at exactly the
time we were preparing to break our usual Monday fast. They were shooting guns
and everyone was confused; then we started running helter skelter but they were
able to. We saw some people pushing some of the students to enter their
vehicles.
