More than 100 female students have
been abducted from a secondary school in North-East Nigeria, a teacher has
claimed. Another teacher Audu Musa and commissioner for Education Inuwa Kubo confirmed it happened at Chibok community. Read?
Audu Musa, who teaches at a
different school, said: "Over 100 female students in our government
secondary school at Chibok have been abducted."
Musa said he saw eight bodies in the
area this morning, but did not give the identity of the victims. "Things
are very bad here and everybody is sad," he said.
The BBC spoke to one girl managed to
escape when the raid started while the pupils were sleeping.
She said that they were armed and
took food from the school's store before forcing the girls into lorries and
buses.
She fled when the truck she was in
slowed down because it developed a fault.
He added that the abductors are
believed to be members of the Boko Haram Islamist sect which has previously
attacked education establishments in the north east of the country.
Education Commissioner for Borno
State Inuwa Kubo confirmed the incident at Chibok, but said authorities were
still trying to ascertain the exact number of girls abducted, as several
students fled into the bush in the darkness during the attack.
Borno state's education authorities
had last month ordered all of its schools closed to protect children after
Islamists killed dozens of pupils in a February attack against a boarding
school in neighbouring Yobe state.
But a Borno education official, who
asked not to be named, said the female students had been back at the Chibok
school writing exams.
Boko Haram - which means
"Western education is sinful" - is believed to have been behind other
attacks that claimed at least 210 people's lives.
They attacked a teacher training
college where five people were killed and again a group of women was kidnapped.
Following that they killed more than
200 from different villages in the area.
