Two students of Government Secondary School, Bichi in Kano State have died after they were allegedly tortured by senior students inside a school hostel.
The attack, which occurred around 11:30pm on July 14, also left two other students hospitalised with serious injuries.
The school principal, Yusuf Ado Yakasai, reported the incident to the police the following day. He stated that the seniors lured four students — Hamza Idris (19, SS3B), Umar Yusuf (18, SS2C), Ibrahim Ibrahim (SS2B), and Aliyu M.

The other two victims are still receiving treatment and are reportedly responding well.
