The taskforce had stormed the school a little past midnight while the children were sleeping.
In the ensuing confusion, Daily Trust gathered, some of the almajirai ran out of the building premises and are yet to return.
Those apprehended were loaded in vehicles and escorted by security agents to the Hajj Camp along Mando Road where they were to undergo COVID-19 tests following which they would be profiled and sent to their respective states.
The midnight raid generated quite an uproar, especially because of the prominence of Shiekh Dahiru Bauchi.
Group condemns the raid says it violates human rights
A group, Concerned Almajirai, described the raid as unwarranted and an abuse of the fundamental rights of the almajirai to live anywhere in the country.
