The attack is the third mass kidnapping in three weeks in northwest Nigeria.

Usman Aliyu, a teacher at the school, said the gunmen took more than 80 students, most of them girls.

Kebbi State police spokesman Nafiu Abubakar, said the gunmen killed one officer during an exchange and also shot a student, who was receiving medical treatment. The attack took place at a federal government college in the remote town of Birnin Yauri. Abubakar said security forces were searching a nearby forest for the abducted students and teachers.

"When we got there we saw students crying, teachers crying, everyone is sympathizing with people," he said by telephone.
