Earlier this morning, bandits stormed a LEA Primary School in Rama village of Birnin-Gwari local government area of Kaduna State, taking away yet to be confirmed number of teachers and pupils.

It was gathered that the incident occurred around 8:45 am when the pupils were just leaving the assembly ground to their classes.

The ugly incident has been confirmed since by Kaduna State Government, saying it was still putting together the actual number of pupils and teachers reported to have been kidnapped.

Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, said, “the Kaduna State Government is receiving security reports of kidnapping of some pupils and teachers in a primary school located in Rema, Birnin Gwari local government area.

“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,” Aruwan said.

One Malam Usman Abdullahi, a resident of Birnin-Gwari said the bandits stormed the school on about 20 motorcycles and carried the victims away.

“For now, we don’t know the number of people taken by the kidnappers. They came on motorcycles, about 20 motorcycles, which they used to carry the pupils and their teachers. As we speak, only two teachers have been confirmed to be among the victims, but for the pupils, we can’t say for now.”
