Niger State Govt Confirms 136 Pupils Kidnapped From Islamic School
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how armed bandidos on Sunday kidnapped many pupils of the Islamic school in Tegina, a densely populated town in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.

The Niger State Government has confirmed the number of students kidnapped by bandidos at an Islamic school to be 136.

The bandidos reportedly attacked the cop shoppe in the town and went round the town shooting sporadically into the air to scare residents before breaking into a private school where they kidnapped children attending Islamic lectures.

The school, which consists of nursery and primary schools, also hosts Islamiyya students in the evening and at weekends.

The mass abduction of the Islamic school students was the second to be perpetrated in Rafi local government in six months.

Dozens of students were kidnapped at Government Science College (GSC) Kagara but were later released after negotiation with the state government.

Asides the attack on schools, thousands of residents across different local government areas of the state have been displaced after the invasion of bandidos.

Niger is one of the Northern states in Nigeria most affected by bandidos attacks. Other states include Kaduna, Zamfara and Katsina.
