November 03, (THEWILL) – Gunmen have invaded the staff quarters of the Junior Secondary School (JSS) Yebu in Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, and abducted the vice principal, Mohammed Nuhu.
The gunmen, who stormed the school in their numbers, reportedly surrounded the quarters after scaling through the fence and tying up the security man on duty, after which they broke into the vice principal’s apartment and took him away.
The incident, which took place on Saturday night, came a few days after Abubakar Abdullahi Gbedako, the Vice Principal of Junior Secondary School, Kwaita, also in Kwali, who is also the Chief Imam of Yabgoji Central Mosque, was abducted.
The Chairman, Nigeria Union Teachers (NUT), FCT chapter, Stephen Knabayi, who confirmed the attack, said the union has written several letters to the FCT Administration and some chairmen of area council over incessant abduction of its members by gunmen.
One of the teachers who witnessed the incident, said, “the kidnappers came in their numbers with sophisticated weapons and invaded the staff quarters of the school. They gain access after scaling the school fence shooting sporadically, tied the security man on duty and headed straight to the house of the vice principal where they forced the door open and took him away.”
FCT Police Command spokeswoman Josephine Adeh had not issued a statement on the incident at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, gunmen on Tuesday attacked the staff quarters of the University of Abuja and abducted six victims including two professors, four staff members and two family members.
