In a distressing incident, bandits targeted LGEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), located in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Thursday morning. The assailants stormed the school at approximately 8:20 am, right after the morning assembly, kidnapping numerous pupils and teachers. Among the victims were reported to be the Headteacher of the school and some other staff.
Former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, expressed his dismay over the incident, highlighting the tragic circumstances. He shared concerns about the safety of the abducted individuals, emphasizing that this area had experienced similar attacks in the recent past.
The junior and secondary schools had previously relocated to the school building inside Kuriga town due to security concerns, abandoning their former location outside the town. Residents reported that most pupils fled their classes upon spotting the bandits on the school premises.
At present, there has been no official response from the state government or the police regarding the incident. The reported figure of abducted individuals, provided by the former senator, has yet to be confirmed by law enforcement.
