Bandits have attacked the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, Danko Wasagu area of Kebbi State, killing the Vice-Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and abducting 25 students.
Maga, a community located in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of the state, has come under multiple attacks in recent time.
A resident of Maga, Aliyu Yakubu said the bandits invaded the school around 5 am on Monday without any resistance.
“The attack has created panic among residents of Maga. We are now in fear and mourning,” he said
He said the school principal, Makuku was shot while trying to protect the students during the attack.
“He was shot as he tried to protect his students from being taken by the bandits. It’s a great loss for the community and the school”, he said.
Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, could not be reached for comments as of the time the initial report was filed.
However, Abubakar later confirmed the incident, saying the attackers scaled the school’s fence to carry out the attack.
He said armed with sophisticated weapons, they shot sporadically before whisking away 25 students.
“The police tactical units deployed in the school engaged them into a gun duel but the suspected bandits had already abducted them in their hostel,” he said.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ahmed Idris, disclosed that the Deputy Governor, Senator Umar Tafida, was dispatched to the school to assess the situation on behalf of Governor Nasir Idris, who is currently out of the state.
