“We tried to call those in affected areas, our calls didn’t go through” – Survivors of Mubi killings

New facts are emerging, that suggests that the students of Federal Polytechnic in Mubi, Adamawa state, would have probably survived the raid from unknown gunmen. According to some those who survived the massacre, they tried to get across to their friends, but the networks were really bad.
“We could maybe have alerted some of those that were killed if the networks weren’t down,” John Bello, a student of the school said. He also confirmed that only one network was working and it was congested that day.
Another student Danjuma added that, “Many students didn’t find out what happened until they saw students running (away). When we tried to call those in the affected area, our calls didn’t go through.”
This development might not be unconnected with the attack of about 20 telecommunication masts in Northern Nigeria – an act that Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for. The Islamic sect, has not come out to say it was behind the Mubi killings and there are speculations that it could be the fallout of a student union election.
