Heavy - armed gangs kidnap more than 150 Islamic school students in Nigeria

The school owner, Abubakar Tagina, told Reuters, who had witnessed the attack and is estimated that about 150 students were robbed.

I personally saw 20 to 25 engines with heavily armed people. They entered the school and left with about 150 or more students,” said Tegina, The Guardian, translates Periscopi.

We cannot know exactly because most of them are not reported to school at the time. ”

A police spokesman said attackers “were shooting indiscriminately and kidnapped a large number of children from the Islamic school Salihu Tanko”.

Tegina said that about 300 students were part of that school, from seven to 15. /Periscope
