Police Say Vehicle Used For Abduction Of Yauri Students Was Snatched From High Court Judge

THE Nigerian Police Force Kebbi State Command has said the
vehicle used in the abduction of students from the Federal
Government Girls College, Yauri, was snatched from a high court
judge.

A spokesperson for the Kebbi State Police Command Nafiu Abubakar
disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

Abubakar dispelled reports that the terrorists used a police van
for the abduction of over 30 students of the school on
Thursday.

“Similarly, the white Hilux van with registration No. KBSJ 29,
belonging to a high court judge, with inscription of Kebbi State
Judiciary, hijacked by the bandits along Birnin Yauri road, was the
one used in perpetrating such dastardly act and not the police
vehicle as stated by some media stations,” Abubakar said.

He added that although a yet-to-be-ascertained number of
students were missing, about 50 of them were abducted during the
attack.

Recall that the terrorists abducted students and teachers, and
killed one policeman when they stormed the school with motorcycles
from the neighbouring Rijau forest.

The attackers were said to have overpowered the mobile policemen
guarding the school, killing one before gaining entrance into the
compound.
