Armed bandits surrounded the premises housing two schools – a secondary and primary – in Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State in the morning yesterday. They ordered everybody in sight to march into the nearby bush.
A teacher, who escaped narrated the story to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.
According to him 287 pupils and teachers were kidnapped.
But, there was no independent confirmation of the number of those abducted given by the teacher last night.
Governor Sani suspended other engagements to visit the Kuriga Primary and Secondary School scene of the abduction for first-hand information late yesterday.
The governor assured that all the abducted pupils would be rescued unhurt “by the grace of God”.
