Bandits Storm Kaduna Primary School, Kidnap Many Pupils, Teachers

Gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked UBE Primary School, Rama in the Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna state, abducting a yet-to-be ascertained number of pupils and teachers.

SaharaReporters gathered that the gunmen who came on motorcycles arrived at the school around 9 am on Monday.

The incident comes few days after bandits abducted 39 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka in the Igabi Local Government Area of the state.

In February 2021, gunmen struck the Government Secondary School in Kagara, Niger State, abducting school pupils, teachers, and workers.

Also on December 11, 2020, 344 secondary schoolboys were abducted from Kankara in Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, while he was there.

In February 2018, 110 schoolgirls were also abducted by Boko Haram from the Government Girls' Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State. Five died in the process while others were later released, except Leah Sharibu, a Christian girl who refused to renounce her faith.

Hundreds of schoolgirls were also kidnapped in Chibok in 2014 by Boko Haram, some of whom have not been released till date.

The governor has the right to take any land that pleases him for development purposes as conferred on him by the Constitution (Land use Act). I expect the PG of Umueri town to be educating his people about this, PG is not all about collecting monthly dues.

Insurgents believed to be members of Boko Haram have hoisted their flag in parts of Marte local government in Borno State, according to military sources.


The insurgents repeatedly attacked the local government within the week.

On Friday, the insurgents attacked neighbouring Dikwa local government.

They were repelled by a combined effort of the air component and ground forces of Operation Lafiya Dole in a battle that lasted hours, sources said.

Meanwhile, the attack dislodged many residents of Dikwa who fled into bushes to take refuge.

The insurgents also laid an ambush for the reinforcements deployed from the theatre command headquarters located in Maiduguri.
The attack on Marte came barely two months after the Borno state government resettled 500 households in New Marte.

The casualty figure for the attack is still unknown, but some soldiers injured from Marte have since been evacuated to Maiduguri where they are currently being treated.

Orlu: Soldiers, ESN members in gun battle

The Eastern Security Network, ESN and the Nigeria Army are currently in a gun battle in Orlu forest Imo State.

Details soon

Juliusmalema:



The Airport will be named after Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu in consonance with traditions of Federal airports..

When the time reaches, Obiano knows what to do.

Cjrane2:


The airport will ultimately be named after Chief Willie Obiano. Whether the next government do it or not. It cannot be disputed that he could have easily stolen the money like Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas or even Hope Uzodinma, and nothing will happen.

Investing on important projects to uplift the state shows his love for the progress of his state.

BTW, please don't mind those sore losers coming here to spill their frustration that another state is getting an airport. I know what my people saw when we were lobbying for Asaba airport and others were going out of their way to block it! Today, they all use Asaba airport and shamelessly forgot how they tried to block the project. Some of these people here are just dark bitter souls. The types that poison their best friend just because their best friend gained admission to a university or achieved a little success.

Besides, Nigeria is such a populous country that more airports with more airlines will help air travel to develop and become very cheap for more people to participate. They just have a very primitive mindset that Nigeria's population and economy will not grow anymore therefore, any airport using 5 people will continue with those 5 people for ever. They even forgot that until very recently only very few Nigerians had ever flown in an airplane.
