They asked us to gather in one place and continued shooting sporadically. I cannot tell how I managed to escape but all my roommates were killed and burnt inside the hostel.
"We shouted for help but nobody came to our rescue, not even Police and military men, to help", Ayuba said.
The terror attack started around 11:20pm and lasted for over five hours. Military personnels didn't arrive the scene till hours after the attack, although there is a military base about 2km away from the school.
So far, most parents are unable to identify the bodies of their children as most were burnt beyond recognition.
