Terrorists in the early hours of Monday attacked the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Naijaonpoint understands that the gunmen abducted an unspecified number of female students and killed a staff member.
The assailants were said to have stormed the school at about 5:52 am, shooting sporadically as students prepared for the day’s routine.
Security sources disclosed that the attackers shot dead a school staff member during the raid, while a guard sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment.
Residents told HumAngle that the gunmen overpowered the school’s security, whisking away several girls before fleeing into nearby bushes.
Locals said the attackers were still within reachable distance and called on security forces to act swiftly to prevent the girls from being moved deeper into the forest.
“We know they are still around the area. Government must move fast if these children are to be rescued,” a resident told the aforementioned platform.
The Kebbi school attack came just hours after terrorists struck Rogun Village in Kpada District of Patigi LGA, Kwara State, killing two security operatives.
A security source told SaharaReporters that the armed men launched a coordinated assault on a police outpost late Sunday night, engaging officers in a fierce gun duel.
By the time the shooting ended, a police constabulary and a vigilante officer had been confirmed dead.
