Today’s attack, carried out by a suicide bomber disguised as a student, also injured 79 people, police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu said by phone from Abuja, the capital. The explosion occurred at about 8 a.m. local time while pupils at the Government Comprehensive School were attending an outdoor assembly.
