Dozens of Students Shot Dead in Nigeria

Dozens of college students have been brutally killed by attackers in Nigeria's northeast city of Mubi. According to a senior police official, gunmen went into the campuses hostels, where the students stay, and began killing students, killing at least 25 and injuring more.
Yushau Shuaib, a National Emergency Management Agency spokesperson, said that "a number of people" had died.
He said it was not clear whether the attack was the work of Boko Haram, a group blamed for previous deadly assaults, or the result of a dispute between rival political groups at the university.
 According to an eyewitness from the university, the killers had gone from room to room, killing the students. They either used assault rifles or machetes to do the killing. 
There is only one theory that has came to thought about why this could have happened, Emergency services are saying there was some sort of election on the campus sometime ago that had been disputed heavily. The attack could have been because of the outcome.
