Parents of dozens of wounded children have gathered at the hospital in Potiskum
A suicide bomber dressed as a student is believed to have caused the blast at the boys' school in Yobe state . At
least 46 students have been killed by a suicide bomber at a school
assembly in the north-eastern Nigerian town of Potiskum, police have
said.
Police suggested the militant group Boko Haram carried out the attack. Yobe state's governor has shut all public schools around Potiskum and criticised the government for not tackling the group.
In a statement governor Ibrahim Gaidam said: "Urgent action must be taken right now to restore a fast-waning public confidence by doing whatever it takes to stop the escalating violence."
Is there an end in sight for these senseless killing? And who exactly is the government the state governor is blaming?
