The Catholic Diocese of Kontagora has declared 88 more students missing in the attack on St Mary Secondary School, Papiri, Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State.

Many parents were said to have gone to school to evacuate their children but couldn’t find them after the attack.

Daily Trust had reported that terrorists invaded the school in the wee hours of Friday, kidnapping students and staff.

In an update on Saturday morning, Most. Rev. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna of the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese said a total of 303 students are now missing.

He had earlier said 215 students could not be accounted for after the attack, adding that four female and eight male teachers were kidnapped during the raid.

He said the school had a population of 430 pupils in primary section and 199 secondary students.

The Bishop denied any prior warning from either the government or security agencies as claimed by the Secretary to State government.

“We have asked the Education Secretary if he received a circular he said no; or if he was asked to send any to us, he said no. We asked if he was verbally informed, he also said no. Let them tell the world who they gave the circular to, or through what channel did they send it.

“We also asked the National Association of Private Schools, they did not get any such circular. They claimed the school was shutdown and reopened few days ago, that is also not true, we are law abiding”, he said through his aide, Daniel Atori.

TallNigerian:
This is crazy. This is really crazy.

This administration no try at all. This is everything we vilified Jonathan for.

This man should just say bye to 2027 abeg. Another southerner (apart from Peter Obi) should step in. Someone younger (most likely in his 50s) should step in and he will have my vote.
