The Kaduna State Government has indicated that only three teachers were kidnapped in a fresh bandit attack that took place at the Rima Primary School, Magajingari Ward 2, Birnin-Gwari, in the early hours of Monday, March 15.

This was revealed at a press conference by Samuel Aruwan who is the state’s Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs.

In his submission, he said;

”At this time, the State Government has compiled and analyzed all the security reports and can confirm that there was indeed an invasion of the said school. The Government can confirm that three teachers, Rabiu Salisu, Umar Hassan, and Bala Adamu have been kidnapped.

Pupils who had just arrived the school to begin the day’s activities, took to their heels in the course of the commotion, as the bandits invaded the premises on motorcycles. This led to two pupils going missing, identified as Ahmad Halilu and Kabiru Yahaya.

However, we are happy to inform you that the two missing pupils have been found. We can also confirm that no single pupil was kidnapped from the school. Other than the three teachers previously mentioned, no staff or pupil of the school is missing following the attack.

Security reports have also revealed that the bandits rustled several cattle and went away with five motorcycles and other valuables.”
