A suicide bomber posing as a student killed at least 48 people at a high school in Nigeria, many of which were schoolboys no older than 18 years old. The incident happened at the Government Secondary School for Science, a technical school located in the northeastern Nigerian town of Potiskum, which had seen a prior suicide bombing attack just a week earlier.

This particular attack was carried out to increase the amount of casualties due to its timing; some 2000 students were gathered in front of the school to hear a weekly address from faculty around 7:30am local time. The bomber wore the uniform of the school, helping him to blend into the surroundings better.

While no group has claimed responsibility yet, it is assumed to be the work of Boko Haram, the same group who has carried out similar jihadist attacks on schools before, all aimed at preventing children from receiving a western-style education. The group is well known for carrying out a mass abduction of over 200 schoolgirls from a school in a remote village in April.
