They entered the school and went away with about 150 or more of the students," said Tegina, who lives around 150 metres from the school.
Tegina said there are around 300 pupils aged between 7 and 15. He said pupils live at home and only attend classes at the site.One person was shot dead during the attack and a second person was seriously injured, the state governor's spokeswoman said.
