Nasarawa School Abduction: Gunmen Kidnap Students from Peter's Foundation Secondary School

Rukubi, Nasarawa State - In a distressing escalation of attacks targeting educational facilities in Nigeria's North-Central region, gunmen on Friday afternoon abducted an unspecified number of schoolchildren from Peter’s Foundation Secondary School.

The incident occurred in the community of Rukubi, situated in the Doma Local Government Area (LGA) of Nasarawa State.

This latest attack marks another painful chapter in the ongoing security challenges plaguing the region. Eyewitness accounts suggest the attackers, described as heavily armed kidnappers, stormed the secondary school premises, causing panic among students and staff before successfully seizing the pupils.

The exact number of abducted students remains unconfirmed by security agencies or school authorities at the time of reporting. However, the scale of the operation underscores the continuous threat posed by criminal elements to educational institutions and the lives of Nigerian schoolchildren.

Doma LGA, like other parts of Nasarawa State, is now on high alert. Security forces are expected to launch a coordinated response to track the assailants and secure the safe return of the kidnapped pupils. This brazen attack adds to the growing list of mass abductions that have cast a shadow over the future of education in Northern Nigeria.
