Survivors
of an attack that killed at least 22 college students in Nigeria’s
northeast say sabotaged phone lines prevented them from warning friends
that could have saved lives.
A
student of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi, said Friday only one mobile
phone network was working in the northeastern town of Mubi and that it
was congested.
He said: “We could maybe have alerted some of those that were killed if the networks weren’t down.”
Student Danjuma Aiso said he could hear gunshots for five hours.
Police say 22 students and three others were killed.
The
killings came a month after Boko Haram, attacked phone masts in
Nigeria’s northeast that crippled communications in the violence-torn
region.
