In a tragic escalation of insecurity in Northwest Nigeria, gunmen suspected to be bandits attacked the Government Girls’ Secondary School (GGCSS) Maga in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area, Kebbi State, late yesterday night.

The assailants killed the school’s Vice Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and reportedly abducted several female students, sparking widespread fear and outrage in the community.

The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of educational institutions in the region, where banditry has increasingly targeted schools, leaving students, staff, and families in constant danger. Communities in the Northwest have repeatedly appealed for urgent government intervention as attacks continue to disrupt education and threaten lives.

Local authorities have yet to release detailed information on the number of students abducted or the current status of the victims. Security operatives have reportedly been deployed to the area to rescue the kidnapped students and investigate the attack.

This tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the dire security situation facing schools and communities in Northwest Nigeria, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive measures to protect citizens and safeguard education.
