Niger State school abducted by terrorists
Terrorists Invade Catholic School in Niger State, Abduct Students and Staff
A Catholic school in Niger State has come under attack by armed terrorists, who abducted several students and staff members. The attack occurred in the early hours, with the assailants storming the school premises and overpowering security personnel before taking the victims away.
Eyewitnesses said the attackers moved quickly, firing sporadically to intimidate staff and students. Panic spread across the school, and many pupils fled into nearby bushes to escape. Unfortunately, those who could not escape were taken by the terrorists. Local authorities confirmed that both students and teachers were among the abducted, though the exact number has not yet been disclosed.
Security agencies have launched a search and rescue operation, working to track the terrorists and secure the release of the abducted individuals. Community leaders have condemned the attack, calling for urgent action to protect schools in the region, which have increasingly become targets for kidnappers.
The incident has heightened concerns about the safety of educational institutions in Niger State and other parts of northern Nigeria, where armed groups have frequently targeted students and staff. Parents and advocacy groups are urging the government to strengthen security measures and provide immediate support to affected families.
