Bandits have attacked a Day Secondary sichool in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State on Wednesday, abducting an unspecified number of students.
Maradun is the home town of Governor Bello Matawalle.
A teacher in the affected school told the BBC Hausa in an interview that he and others managed to escape by running away under the cover of farms near the school.
According to him, the bandits who came in their numbers on motorcycles wielding dangerous weapons between the hours of 11 am and 12 pm, raided the school which had about 400 male and female students.
The teacher said the level 5 students were writing mock exams when the school was attacked.
In the meantime, Zamfara state government and police in the state are yet to make any official statement on the issue.
This report will be updated as we get additional information.
