10-year-old boy killed in Jos school attack as unknown man fired Rocket Propelled Grenade

A ten-year-old boy was on Tuesday killed when an assailant fired a rocket propelled grenade (rpg) at an Islamic school in the  city of Jos, an area plagued by sectarian violence, officials and residents said.
Witnesses described a man dressed in red firing what appeared to be a rocket launcher at the school in the Bukuru area of Jos. Initial reports had
suggested a local government building was the target.

“An Islamic school was the target of the attack,” said Pam Ayuba, the spokesman for the governor of Plateau State, where Jos is the capital.
Police spokesman Emmanuel Abuh said the assailant fired a “rocket propelled grenade” from the Jero road that runs adjacent to the school.
“A 10-year-old boy was hit on the head… and he died,” said Abuh, adding that the attacker fled the scene before he could be apprehended.
The victim was said to be a bystander and not enrolled at the school where students were studying for exams when they came under attack, according to locals.
A resident of the targeted area said a lone attacker “dressed in red” stood on the street outside the school and fired a heavy weapon.
