Teacher Killed and 25 Girls Abducted in Firefight at School in Nigeria
Armed assailants have fatally shot an educator and kidnapped no fewer than 25 pupils in an raid targeting a girls' secondary school in Nigeria's northwestern region, police reports indicate.
The armed faction invaded the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State's Maga area at roughly 4 in the morning local time on Monday, police confirmed.
The assailants "exchanged fire with security forces on duty in a shootout" before scaling the perimeter fence and taking the pupils captive from their hostel, authorities disclosed.
A school employee was killed while trying to protect the students. A second sustained gunshot wounds and is now receiving treatment.
Observers recounted a considerable contingent of armed individuals, referred to locally as criminal elements, who arrived firing sporadically to cause panic.
Community members told reporters that the attackers afterwards forced a contingent of young women into surrounding rural areas.
The authorities announced they had sent "supplementary tactical squads, in coordination with armed forces and local protection units" to the area.
A organized locating and saving mission is presently taking place in adjacent wooded areas and potential getaway paths.
In recent years, schools in northern Nigeria have become frequent targets for militant organizations, who often carry out abductions to request monetary settlements or leverage deals with the government.
The assault in Kebbi State emphasizes the ongoing security challenge afflicting the area, causing relatives in Maga in a state of fearful exhaustion as they wait and hope for their children's secure homecoming.
Safety emergency in the northern regions of Nigeria has escalated dramatically in the past few months, with schools suffering the most of the conflict.
