Gunmen Invades School 3 Female Kidnapped

Gunmen who turned out to be kidnappers invaded a model private missionary secondary school located in Ikorodu area of Lagos, abducting three female Senior Secondary School students.

A similar incident happened on January 22 2016, but the operation was foiled by the school internal security. The abducted girls were of the Science department. The gunmen reportedly stormed the premises of the boarding school located at Agunfoye-Lugbusi village at about 8pm.

The kidnappers demanded N100 million ransoms for the release of each student.  As at 4pm yesterday, they were still in contact with the school. The kidnappers reportedly scaled the school’s perimeter fence and announced their presence with sporadic gunshots while the students were having their night prep in their classes.

This caused pandemonium as the fear stricken students who did not know where the shots were coming from, scampered in different directions for safety. In the process, one of the gunmen said to have been hooded, held one of the female students, immediately she ran out of her classroom.

Another female student as gathered ran into three of the gunmen whom she thought were her teachers, while the third student was also caught by another abductor. They thereafter, took the students into their vehicle that was parked along a bush path and zoomed off. Identities of the abducted students are being kept secret by security agents and the school authority.
