Groups of syndicates attacked Zamfara state day secondary school and abducted some students.
Bandits have abducted a yet-to-be ascertained number of students following an attack on Kaya Day Secondary School in Zamfara State.
The incident that occurred at about 11am on Wednesday in Maradun Local Government Area of zamfara state.
A source within the government, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the attack on the school and the students’ abduction to Channels Television.
But police authorities in Zamfara have yet to confirm the incident.
Sources explained that the assailants invaded the school in a large number and left with the students to an unknown location.
It had also suspended the transportation of livestock to and from the state, saying the transportation of food across the state and outside Zamfara must be verified.
As officials enforce the new measures, the government had sought the support and understanding of the people, saying the new measures were not intended to hurt anyone.
Barely a week after the measures were put in place, bandits struck again as they invaded Kaya Day Secondary School.
This is the third attack on schools in Zamfara this year – coming after the incidents in Jangebe and Bakura areas of the state.
A total of 317 students were abducted from the Government Girls Science Secondary School in Jangebe during an attack in February, six months before bandits kidnapped at least 20 persons comprising students and officials from the College Of Agriculture and Animal Science, Bakura.
Reacting to this, the zamfara state government and the people's mind were thrown up as no one knows who the victims are.
