Gunmen attack Government Day Secondary School in Lassa town, in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, as students write the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) organised by the National Examinations Council (NECO). Reports say the attack happens on Monday morning while students are taking the exam. An unspecified number of students are abducted, and at least one teacher is reported killed, while another teacher is said to be injured.
Borno State police confirm the incident through the state police spokesperson, Nahum Daso, and state that some students remain missing. Sources also report that police deploy forces to the area and respond to the attack as details continue to emerge. The incident is described as part of ongoing security challenges in parts of Nigeria’s North-East, where similar attacks and abductions have occurred. Authorities continue efforts to locate the abducted students and assess the full impact of the raid.
