Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bandits, Thursday morning, stormed LGEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and kidnapped scores of pupils and teachers.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at about 8:20 am immediately after the morning assembly.<\/p>\n

Locals said the Headteacher of the school and some other staff were among the victims.<\/p>\n

A former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, expressed displeasure on the incident, expressing optimism that they would be free.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019It\u2019s tragic to hear that 232 students have just been kidnapped in Kuriga village, Chikun LG in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same village where a school principal, Idris Sufyan was killed and his wife kidnapped over a month ago. However, I\u2019m optimistic their freedom will be secured,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The junior and secondary schools relocated to the school building inside the Kuriga town a few years ago due to insecurity concerns, abandoning their former school building located outside the town.<\/p>\n

A resident, Shitu, confirmed the incident, saying most of the pupils ran out of their classes when they sighted the bandits on the school premises.<\/p>\n

Another resident, Lawal Kuriga, also said that the abducted victims were marched into the forest.<\/p>\n

As of the time of filing this report, there was no official reaction from the state government or the police.<\/p>\n

The figure released by the former senator has also not been confirmed by the police.<\/p>\n
