This would be the second infamous kidnap in the country after jihadist group Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from their school dormitory in Chibok, Borno State in April 2014. Reports revealed that about 100 of the Chibok Schoolgirls are still missing.

Meanwhile, the president has condemned the kidnap in a comment after the abduction took place.

“I strongly condemn the cowardly bandits’ attack on innocent children at the Science School, Kankara.

“Our prayers are with the families of the students, the school authorities and the injured,” said President Buhari while pledging to continue to support the police and military struggle against terrorists and bandits.
