I just woke up to read Nigeria’s one week, one problem, as a nation. I join other citizens and the world to wish the 300 girls (BBC Hausa number) abducted at Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara State, safe return to their families. May peace reign in the land.
The Zamfara State Government has confirmed the abduction of schoolgirls from a secondary school in the state.
PREMIUM TIMES reported the attack by armed men on the Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State on Friday morning.
Zailani Bappa, the spokesperson to the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, told PREMIUM TIMES Friday morning that the exact number of students kidnapped has not been ascertained.
He said the state government is working with security operatives to ascertain the details of the kidnap and ensure the kidnapped victims are freed.
A teacher in the school had told the BBC Hausa that about 300 female students were kidnapped.
