The abduction happened at a boarding school in the town of Jangebe in Zamfara state in the early hours of Friday. Eyewitnesses have told local media that hundreds of armed men attacked security guards before they took the girls. In recent months, heavily armed criminal gangs have been ramping up attacks on schools and kidnapping to collect ransom.
