No fewer than 47 persons, mainly students, have been killed and 79 wounded Monday by a deadly suicide bombing outside a school in Yobe State in northern Nigeria, police said.
It was reported that the attacker was disguised as a student when he set off the explosion in a government boarding school in the town of Potiskum, police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu said.
"We suspect Boko Haram is behind the attack," Ojukwu said.
The explosion took place at 7:50 a.m. local time outside the principal's office, where students had gathered for a daily speech.
