The radical Islamic Sect, Boko Haram on Tuesday continued its violent campaign by setting a second primary school ablaze in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Boko Haram militants set fire to the buildings in Gomari Costain Primary School early on Tuesday.
According to agency reports, a bunch of suspected Boko Haram militants invaded the school and drove the securityman on duty away before carrying out the criminal act.

The spokesman for the state police command, Samuel Tizhe, confirmed the development, saying it was being investigated.

Other schools so far burnt by the violent sect are a section of the Maiduguri Experimental School, Kwanar Yobe State; Budum and Kulo Gomna Primary Schools; and Abba Ganaram Primary School, Maiduguri.
