Armed bandits have reportedly attacked Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, North West Nigeria in the night killing the Vice Principal and abducting several students.
The late-night assault left the vice principal, Malam Hassan Yakubu Makuku, dead after he reportedly attempted to shield students from the attackers.
The number of students kidnapped remains unclear, as both the police and the state government are yet to react to the incident.
A resident, Murjanatu Hassan Gishiri, who confirmed the incident, said the assailants invaded the school unhindered, unleashing terror and throwing the community into trauma.
“It is a heartbreaking tragedy that has thrown the entire region into deep fear and mourning,” she lamented.
Residents have continued to pray for the repose of the soul of the slain vice principal, whom they described as a devoted educator and protector of the children under his care.
Security agencies have not yet issued a formal statement on the attack, but locals are urging urgent intervention from both state and federal authorities to rescue the abducted students and prevent further violence in schools and vulnerable communities across the region.
