Again, Troops Foil Attempt To Kidnap Students – Kaduna Govt

Bandits have attacked Government Science Secondary School, Ikara
in Kaduna State.

The armed men invaded the school in the early hours of Sunday
but their plot to abduct students was foiled by the military,
according to Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner for Internal Security and
Home Affairs.

Aruwan confirmed that all 307 students of the school are
safe.

“The attempted kidnap was foiled. Fortunately, the students
utilised the security warning system and were thus able to alert
security forces. The security forces comprise the Nigerian Army and
the Police with some security volunteers moved swiftly to the
school to engage the bandits, the military and police are currently
trailing the bandits,” he said.

The incident happened two days after 39 students were abducted
from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Afaka, Igabi
local government area of the state.

The gunmen were reportedly heading to a secondary school but
when they learnt that security had been beefed up at their target
location, they invaded the school.

This is the third major feat recorded by security operatives in
Kaduna in the last 48 hours.

Daily Trust had reported how soldiers prevented gunmen from
abducting students of a Turkish school in Kaduna.

Also, an attempt to abduct some persons at the quarters of the
Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in Kaduna was
foiled.
