The Police Command in Kebbi State has confirmed the
abduction of some students of Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri and the
killing of a policeman during the attack.
Armed bandits on Thursday
invaded the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, Kebbis State, and
abducted a yet to be specified number of female students.
In his confirmation of the incident, Mr Adeleke
Adeyinka-Bode, the Commissioner of Police in the state, told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) that the number of students abducted is not known yet.
“The truth is that the attack took place and five teachers have been taken away, four male and one female, but the number of students abducted is not known yet.
“The attack took place around 12pm and during the crossfire
between police and the bandits, some students were injured and one police
officer was also injured and another was killed. These are the facts I can give
to you,” he said.
The police commissioner said the school principal who should
provide details of the number of students abducted was still in shock.
“The Principal is not in the best state of mind as I am
speaking to you now, because parents have trooped into the school searching for
their children.
“So the Principal cannot make a proper headcount call,” he
