Hundreds of students are suspected to have disappeared after armed men raided a high school in Nigeria.

The strikers arrived with engines and began shooting into the air, causing people to leave, the witnesses said.

That was at a medical school where 800 students follow.

More than 200 students have been rescued, while the military and air force have joined in searching for the missing.

Residents living near the school told the BBC that they heard gunshots about 11:00 local time Friday and that the attack lasted for more than an hour.

Security personnel at the school managed to repel some of the attackers before police reinforcements arrived, officials said.
