UNICEF CONDEMNS DEADLY SCHOOL ATTACK IN NORTH-EAST NIGERIANew York,
Jul 8 2013 10:00AMThe United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has
condemned the recent attack on a school in north-east Nigeria that
resulted in the deaths of a number of students and called for the
perpetrators to be brought to justice.

"As we extend our sympathy to the families of the victims, we would
say in the strongest possible terms that there can be no justification
for the deliberate targeting of children and those looking after
them," said UNICEF's Regional Director for West and Central Africa,
Manuel Fontaine.

According to media reports, Islamic militants belonging to the Boko
Haram group attacked a boarding school in the north-eastern state of
Yobe before dawn on Saturday, killing 29 students and one teacher.

Secondary schools in the state have reportedly now been closed until
the start of the new academic term in September to allow state and
federal Government officials, as well as community leaders, to work on
ways to guarantee the safety of schools.

"UNICEF calls for those responsible to be brought to justice and for
communities to demand that schools be considered as places of safety,"
it stated in a news release.

The agency noted that, since 16 June, a total of 48 students and seven
teachers have reportedly been killed in four attacks in the region.Jul
