Deadly Terrorist Attack on Kebbi Girls’ School: One Killed, Students Kidnapped

Terrorists in the early hours of Monday stormed the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Kebbi State, abducting an unspecified number of female students and killing at least one staff member.

A school guard was also injured during the attack, which occurred around 5:52am.

The attackers invaded the school compound while the students were preparing for morning routines, launching their assault with sporadic gunfire, HumAngle reports.

SaharaReporters also gathered that the gunmen not only abducted several female students but also left a trail of fear and chaos in their wake.

However, residents noted that the terrorists have not gone far and are urging the Federal and State governments to take urgent action to rescue the girls.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that terrorists launched a deadly attack on Rogun Village in Kpada District of Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State, killing two security operatives.

A security source told SaharaReporters on Monday that the incident occurred late Sunday night when the terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, stormed the police outpost in Rogun and opened fire on officers on duty.

According to the source, the attackers engaged the security personnel in a fierce gun duel that lasted several minutes.

By the time the shooting subsided, two security operatives — a police constabulary and a vigilante officer — had been confirmed dead.
