Gunmen Abduct Students Of Agriculture College In Zamfara

Gunmen have abducted some students and teachers at the College
of Agriculture and Animal Health in Bakura, Zamfara state.

Aliyu Bakura, the deputy registrar of the college, confirmed the
development to BBC Hausa.

“Last Sunday night around 10 pm they entered and opened fire and
took away 15 students and a teacher and his wife and two children,”
he said.

This is not the first time bandits will abduct students from
schools in Zamfara. On February 26, bandits invaded Government
Girls Science Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara state and abducted
many female students but were later released after spending weeks
in custody.

In recent times, the northern part of the country has witnessed
a series of abductions of schoolchildren, a development that has
led to the closure of many schools in the region.

At the moment, many abducted students from northern schools are
still in the custody of bandits.
