A week after kidnap of students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Kaduna, bandits again stormed and abducted primary school pupils and teachers from UBE Primary School in Rama, a village in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident happened on Monday morning while pupils were trooping into the school after spending their weekends.
A resident expressed concern while speaking with newsmen, saying three teachers and unconfirmed number of pupils were abducted.
He disclosed that local security agents are on the trailbof criminals.
“Right now, our vigilante boys and other volunteers have gone after the bandits.
“We are in the school right now, what we are trying to do is comb the bushes because some of the children ran into the bush. So, we don’t know how many were abducted at the moment.”
Mai Saje Rama, another resident, said: “There is a particular parent whose name is Halilu. He said he saw them carry his son on a motorcycle. Most of them decided to brave it by going after the bandits. We are in the school and we have sent for security agents but they have not arrived yet.”
Mohammadu Birnin Gwari, a resident of Birnin Gwari, said two of his brothers were among the teachers abducted.
He gave their names as Umar Hassan and Rabiu Salisu Takau.
