Suspected bandits have invaded an LEA Primary School in
Kuriga town of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State abducting dozens of
pupils on Thursday morning.
Residents who spoke to journalists as eyewitnesses put the
number of abducted pupils to about 100.
Reports also claim the headteacher and the staff of the
school were reportedly among the victims.
According to Daily Trust, the tragic incident which happened
at about 8:20 am immediately after the assembly on Thursday, was thrown the
area into pandemonium as residents were hounded with panic.
The junior and secondary sections relocated to the school
building inside the Kuriga town a few years ago when insecurity worsened which
led to the abandonment of their former structure situated outside the town.
Confirming the incident, a resident called Shitu, said most
of the pupils ran out of their classes when they sighted the assailants on the
school premises.
Another resident, Lawal Kuriga, who spoke to Daily Trust
said abductees were marched into the forest.
Meanwhile, there was no official reaction from the state
government at the time of filing this report.
The report revealed that the Overseeing Commissioner of the
Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, did not react to
a text message sent to him.
Also, the State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP
Mansir Hassan, could not be reached on the phone and has yet to reply to a text
message sent to him.
