Please, share this story:
Bandits reportedly invaded a primary school in Kuriga town in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Tuesday and abducted about 100 pupils.
It was gathered that the bandits entered LEA Primary School(1) Kuriga around 8.20 am shortly after the morning assembly to carry out their evil act.
According to Daily Trust, the Head teacher of the school and some other staff are reportedly among the victims.
The junior and secondary school relocated to the school building inside the Kuriga town a few years ago due to insecurity concerns, abandoning their former school building located outside the town.
A resident, Shitu, confirmed the incident, saying most of the pupils ran out of their classes when they sighted the bandits on the school premises.
Another resident, Lawal Kuriga, also told Daily Trust that abducted victims were marched into the forest.
As of the time of filing this report, there was no official reaction from the state government as the Overseeing Commissioner of the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, didn’t react to a text message sent to him.
The State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, couldn’t be reached on the phone and is yet to reply to a text message sent to him too.
