No fewer than six pupils at the Local Government Education Authority Primary School, Alwaza, in Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State have been kidnapped by heavily armed men who stormed the school premises on Friday morning.
A source in the community who pleaded anonymity told PUNCH correspondent that the incident occurred at 7 in the morning when other pupils of the school were still arriving for the day’s activities.
He said, “The entire incident is very confusing. We never expected that such a thing could happen in our community.
“The school children, about six of them were kidnapped by the heavily armed men and they took them to an unknown destination.
“As residents of the community, we could not do anything to rescue them because the criminals were well armed but we informed the police about the development and I believe that they will make efforts to rescue the kidnapped pupils.”
Meanwhile, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, has debunked claims that six pupils of the LGEA primary school, Alwaza, were kidnapped on the school premises.
