Over 300 girls have been kidnapped by gunmen in a new attack on a school in Jangebe, Zamfara State, northwestern Nigeria.
A teacher from the institute denounced it.
Police have not yet confirmed the abduction.
"We understand that over 300 girls have disappeared after counting the remaining female students," said the teacher at Government Girls Secondary School in Jangebe. The father of two school students said he had received a phone call about the incident: "I'm going to Jangebe. I received a phone call in which I was informed that armed gangs broke into the school and took away some students", he said. Last week, 42 people were abducted from a school in the Nigerian state of Niger, in western Nigeria. In December, over 300 boys were kidnapped from an institution in Kankara, Katsina state, and released after a series of negotiations with government officials.
