The Kuriga town of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State was thrown into a state of chaos when bandits invaded LEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), and abducted dozens of pupils at about 8.20am on Thursday, March 7.
The number of persons abducted couldn’t be ascertained as of press time, but residents said they were about 100.
It was reported that, the school relocated to Kuriga town a few years ago due to insecurity concerns, abandoning their former school building located outside the town.
A resident of the community, Shitu, who confirmed the incident, said most of the pupils ran out of their classes when they sighted the bandits on the school premises.
