The sect was linked to the razing of the Maiduguri Experimental School, a private institution in the state capital, on Monday.
Pupils of the Gomari Costain Primary School woke up on Tuesday to discover that their school had been destroyed by fire.
According to residents, the school was razed by an overnight fire suspected to be done by the dreaded sect members.
Some teachers of the school told a Xinhua reporter in the state that a group of persons, mainly teenagers, drove away the security guard in the night before setting the school ablaze.
Ismaila Gambo, one of the teachers who lives near the school premises, said he heard a loud noise in the school at night and thought it was a minor thing.
"But when we reported for duty in the morning we discovered that fire had burnt the school," he said.
State police spokesperson Samuel Tizhe, who confirmed the incident, said the police had opened investigation to unravel the masterminds of the act, but no arrests have been made.
On Monday, a section of the Maiduguri Experimental School was burnt by unknown persons.
Last week, the Budum and Kulo Gomna Primary Schools were set ablaze, forcing hundreds of pupils to remain at home, according to reports.
