Over 280 pupils and teachers of Government Secondary School and LEA primary school at Kuriga, Kaduna State have been kidnapped by bandits on Thursday, in Kaduna State.
The Jama’atu Nasril Islam, Amnesty International, the Parent Teacher Association of Nigeria, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, and the House of Representatives condemned the attack and ordered the government to rescue the victims immediately.
The bandits reportedly invaded the Kuriga area of the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Thursday, shooting at their victims before abducting over 280 pupils and teachers from both schools.
Truth Live News reports that the secondary school which was in another location before, was relocated to the primary school on account of the insecurity in the council.
