Less than 48 hours after bandits abducted over 280 pupils and teachers of Government Secondary School and LEA primary school at Kuriga, Kaduna State on Thursday, bandits on Saturday morning kidnapped another unspecified number of students from a school in Tsangaya, Gidan Bakuso in Gada local government area of Sokoto state.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nThe Kaduna abductions triggered national outrage.<\/p>\n

But that did not stop the Saturday strike by the terrorists in Sokoto State.<\/p>\n

The number of those kidnapped remain unknown.<\/p>\n

Pointblanknews.com reported that the students were abducted from their school around 1am on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The proprietor of the school, Liman Abubakar, said 15 students were unaccounted for so far but \u201cwe are still counting.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Abubakar, the bandits invaded the town around 1am, shot one person and abducted a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs they were leaving the town, they sighted our students rushing into their rooms and they kidnapped many of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so far counted 15 who are missing and we are still searching for more,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Abubakar added that this was not the first time the village was attacked by bandits.<\/p>\n

The member, representing Gada-East Constituency at the state House of Assembly, Kabiru Dauda while confirming the attack, said he received a call from the village around 2am that it was invaded by bandits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI reached out to the local government authorities and security agencies and I am sure they are doing something about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The spokesman of the Sokoto State Police Command, ASP Ahmad Rufa\u2019i, said he was not aware of the development but he would contact the Divisional Police Officer of the local government areas and get back to our reporter.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
