Enlèvement massif au Nigeria : au moins 25 écolières kidnappées par des "bandits" dans l'État de Kebbi

Armed men stormed a state-run boarding school in Kebbi State, northwestern Nigeria, abducting dozens of girls in a pre-dawn attack, local police said. The assault, carried out by individuals suspected of being heavily armed bandits, also left a school staff member dead.

The incident occurred early Monday morning at Maga Public Girls' Secondary School , located in the Wasagu/Danko Local Government Area.

According to local police spokesman Nafiu Abubakar Kotakoshi, the attackers scaled the school fence and "abducted at least 25 students from their dormitory to an unknown location." The spokesman stated at a press conference that the death toll could rise, as other girls may be missing.

  1. Casualties and injuries: One staff member was shot dead during the invasion of the boarding school, while another was injured in the attack.
  2. Modus operandi: The kidnappers, described as "bandits" equipped with sophisticated weapons, managed to enter the premises before dawn.
  3. Search operation: Government forces immediately launched a search. They are "combing the known routes of the bandits and the nearby forests" to find the kidnapped schoolgirls, Mr. Kotakoshi stated.

This attack adds to a series of mass kidnappings targeting schools in northern Nigeria, carried out by criminal groups demanding ransoms.
