Gunmen on Monday raided UBE Primary School in Rama village, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, abducting several teachers and pupils.
The attack, it was learnt, occurred around 8:45am when the pupils were leaving the assembly ground to their classes.
Commissioner for internal security and home affairs Samuel Aruwan said the state has received the report and is assessing the situation.
“The Kaduna State Government is receiving security reports of kidnapping of some pupils and teachers in a primary school located in Rama, Birnin Gwari local government area,” he said.
“According to preliminary reports, the incident occurred at an LEA primary school in the LGA.
“The Kaduna State Government is currently obtaining details on the actual number of pupils and teachers reported to have been kidnapped and will issue a comprehensive statement as soon as possible.”
Eyewitnesses say the gunmen stormed the school in more than 10 motorcycles.
This comes just three days after gunmen attacked Federal College of Forestry Mechanization in Kaduna and took captive scores of students.
On Sunday, Nigerian troops foiled an attack on Government Science Secondary School, Ikara in Ikara Local Government Area of Kaduna. Some 307 students were rescued from being abducted.
