Bandits on Saturday went on the rampage in Sokoto, abducting many students as well as killing a monarch and two other people in the melee.
This is coming 48 hours after bandits struck in Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School at Kuriga, Kaduna State abducting more than 200 pupils and teachers.
This time, the blood-thirsty maniacs abducted scores of students in Tsangaya, Gidan Bakuso in Gada Local Government area of the North-West state.
A monarch and two others in Turba Village, Isa Local Government Area were also killed.
Confirming the abduction, proprietor of the school in Tsangaya, Liman Abubakar, said the incident occurred around 1am.
“Some of our students are unaccounted for so far, but we are still counting. They invaded our town around 1am, shot one person and abducted a woman.
“As they were leaving the town, they sighted our students rushing into their rooms and they kidnapped many of them.
“We have so far counted 15 who are missing and we are still searching for more,” he said
Abubakar added that this was not the first time the village was attacked by bandits.
