Suspected bandits have abducted an unconfirmed number of students following an attack on Kaya Day Secondary School in Zamfara State.

Although police authorities in Zamfara have yet to confirm the incident, sources explained that the gunmen invaded the school in a large number and left with the students to an undisclosed location.

The abduction comes despite recent measures announced by the Zamfara state government which included the suspension of weekly markets and the ban of sale of petrol in jerry cans, among others.

Barely a week after the measures were put in place, bandits struck again as they invaded Kaya Day Secondary School.

This is the third attack on schools in Zamfara this year, coming after the incidents in Jangebe and Bakura areas of the state.
