JUST IN: Abducted Kaduna pupils escape from bandits
Three pupils abducted by bandits from the UBE Primary School in Rama town, Kaduna State have escaped from their abductors.
WuzupNigeria had earlier reported that the pupils and some of their teachers where abducted on Monday morning by suspected bandits who stormed their school on motorcycles.
However, reports reaching WuzupNigeria said the pupils escaped from their captors when they stopped to rustle some cows and steal motorcycles at a nearby community.
As of the time of the report, it has not been ascertained if the teachers also escaped or are still with their captors.
Daily Trust, which quoted a teacher identified as Naomi Francis, reported that the pupils had been beaten by the bandits.
“They came in after the morning assembly,” Francis said. “We had all gone into the classrooms when six of the bandits came on motorcycles while others surrounded the school.”
“I had stepped out from my class when I noticed students of primary 5 and 6 running out.
“I immediately alerted my students to run and they did.”
