Terrorists or armed bandits this morning struck in a girls’ secondary school in Zamfara State and kidnapped about 300 girls.
The BBC reported that the attack occurred at the Government Girls’ Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata Mafara Local Government Area of the State.
The bandits reportedly arrived in the school around 1am with Hilux vehicles and motorcycles for the operation.
“When they came into the school, we thought they were security personnel but to our utmost fear and dismay, they started putting the girls into Hilux vehicles and motorcycles then drove out of the school,” a source in the school told a newspaper.
They reportedly operated for several hours without any challenge due to absence of the security agents.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Shehu, told a journalist that policemen were on their way going to the school and would brief the press later.
