Posted by On Thursday morning, a group of bandits took hostage a large number of students and faculty members at LGEA Primary School in Kuriga (1), Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State.
According to information acquired by DAILY POST, the event occurred shortly after the morning assembly, at approximately 8:20 in the morning.
Relatives and neighbors of the school claimed that the headmaster and several employees were among those killed.
Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna, voiced his disapproval of the act and his hope that they would soon be free.
