At least six students and two
teachers have been abducted at the Engraver’s College in Kakau Daji, Chikun
local government area of Kaduna state.
One of the parents whose daughter
was abducted said that he received a call from the abductors on
Thursday morning.
“They told my daughter to give
them a number to call, and that was when they called me, but I could’t
understand if they were asking for ransom because they spoke in a language I
could barely hear,” he said.
“I spoke with my daughter and
then they collected the phone from her and terminated the call.”
Yakubu Sabo, police spokesman in
the state, confirmed the abduction, saying the gunmen invaded the school
through a porous fence.
He said immediately they entered
the school, they went straight to the female hostel where the students were
abducted.
He said the two teachers residing
inside the school were also kidnapped and their whereabouts yet unknown.
“A combined team of police mobile
force and anti-kidnapping squad have launched a manhunt of the kidnappers with
a view to rescuing the victims and apprehending the culprits,” he said.
Sabo advised proprietors of
private schools to beef up their premises with adequate security personnel in
order not to expose their students to any form of attack.
Over the months, there have been
a series of kidnap cases in the state, mostly on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
