Gunmen attack a school in Iluke Bunu, in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State, killing the vice principal and two other people, according to two Nigerian outlets. The reports say the incident happens almost a month after an earlier attack on three schools in Oyo State, in which terrorists abducted at least 40 pupils along with teachers.
In the Kogi attack, the gunmen also kidnap three students who were reportedly preparing to sit for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). The sources do not provide additional details on the students’ identities, the circumstances of the abduction, or the condition of any remaining students.
Separately, the reports state that Edo State shuts schools in response to the security situation, though they do not specify the duration of the closure. Both outlets present the events as part of a continuing pattern of school-related violence across parts of Nigeria.
