In less than 12 weeks, gunmen have attacked three secondary schools and made away with innocent children numbering over 670.These attacks, which raised concerns from within and outside Nigeria, were preceded by similar incidents in Nigeria’s north-east region. The insurgents abducted over 110 girls from the school in February 2018 but later returned them to the community after holding them captive for four weeks.

Confirming the attack on the school, the state governor, Aminu Masari, noted that 17 of the students escaped while over 300 others were unaccounted for.

Sources told Channels Television that the assailants gained entry into the school premises at about 2 am and began to fire sporadic gunshots.

There have been rumours that the abducted persons had been released and reunited with their families, but the authorities in Niger State distanced themselves from such reports.
