The spokesman [named withheld for security reasons] of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi said the shooting took place on the night of the Independence Day, at about 10pm, when unknown gunmen opened fire on some students at Wuro Fatuje (Wuro Fatuje a surburb of Mubi, is heavily populated with off-campus students of the three institutions).

He stated that there was sporadic shooting which lasted for over one hour."There was heavy gun fire of different calibers around 10 pm till 11pm, when it subsided."
