The students were reportedly kidnapped at Gidan Bakuso village in Gada Local Government Area while running into their rooms to escape attack on the community two weeks ago. The students were abducted from their school around 1am last Saturday.
This incident came barely a day after the terrorists stormed a government school in Kaduna State and abducted over 270 pupils.
According to the school proprietor, Abubakar, the bandits invaded the 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.
