Islamic militants attacked a boarding school in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, killing 29 students and one teacher.
Some of the pupils were burned alive in the attack, survivor said.
Parents screamed in anguish as they tried to identify the charred and gunshot victims. One farmer Malam Abdullahi found the bodies of his two sons 10 and 12 years of age.
The gunmen are believed to be from the Boko Haram sect whose name means "Western education is sacrilege".
A 15-year old Musa Hassan said, we were sleeping when we heard the gunshots. When I woke up someone was pointing a gun at me.
He put his arm up in defense and suffered a gunshot that blew all four fingers on his right hand.
Some bodies are so charred they could not be identified, so many parents do not know if their children survived or died.
