Bandits yesterday reportedly attacked Government Secondary School, Opada-Olowa in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State and abducted the principal, a supervisor of the National Examinations Council (NECO) and four students.

While the principal was identified as Mr Nyada Daniel, and the NECO official as Mr Solomon Audu, the abducted students could not be immediately identified.

The attack was said to have occurred around 2 pm when students were sitting the examination.

Residents said the attackers stormed the community, firing sporadically to scare people before invading the school.

They linked the attack to the worsening security situation in the area, recalling that a farmer was killed on his farm a few weeks ago.
