Suspected Boko Haram militants assaulted a school in the village of Buni Yadi in Yobe state, killing as many as 40 students, in the first Boko Haram attack in Yobe this year. Security guards at a checkpoint outside the school withdrew a few hours before the attack. President Jonathan reportedly called the Boko Haram attacks "quite worrisome" but added that "we will get over it."
