There was pandemonium in Kuriga town of Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State when bandits invaded LEA (Local Education Authority) Primary School, Kuriga (1), and abducted dozens of pupils.
The number of pupils and other staff of the school persons abducted couldn’t be ascertained as of press time, but residents said they were about 100.
Head teacher of the school and some other staff are reportedly among the victims.
Daily Trust gathered that the incident happened at 8:20am immediately after the assembly on Thursday.
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.
