The Police Command in Katsina, has confirmed that gunmen attacked Government Science Secondary School Kankara on Friday night, but no student was killed.
The incident happened barely a few hours after the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), arrived in his country home, Daura in Katsina for a week-long private visit.
The command’s Public Relations Officer SP Gambo Isah, announced this to newsmen on Saturday in Katsina. “On Friday around 11:30 p.m., gunmen in their numbers attacked the school with dangerous weapons.
They began to shoot and engaged our men guarding the school in a duel. That gave some students an opportunity to jump over the fence and run into the town for safety. The gunmen also shot one of the security guards at the gate who is presently responding to treatment,” he said.
He added that it was too early to determine the number of students missing or kidnapped. However, parents of wards have rushed to the school to know the fate of their children
