Terrorists abducted female students and killed a staff member at a Kebbi school, while a separate attack in Kwara left two security operatives dead, prompting calls for urgent government intervention.
Terrorists stormed the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Kebbi State early Monday, abducting an unspecified number of female students and killing at least one staff member, according to a report from SAHARA REPORTERS.
A school guard was also injured during the assault, which occurred around 5:52 a.m. as students were preparing for their morning routines.
“The attackers invaded the school compound while the students were preparing for morning routines, launching their assault with sporadic gunfire,” the report stated. Residents noted that the terrorists had not gone far and called on the Federal and State governments to take urgent action to rescue the girls.
In a related incident, terrorists attacked Rogun Village in Kpada District, Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State late Sunday night, killing two security operatives—a police constabulary and a vigilante officer.
According to a security source, the gunmen stormed the police outpost and engaged officers in a fierce gun duel that lasted several minutes, leaving the two personnel dead.
SaharaReporters reported that the bandits not only abducted students but also left a trail of fear and chaos in both Kebbi and Kwara, highlighting the urgent need for government intervention to secure communities and rescue the victims.
