Punch Newspapers Sections JESUSEGUN ALAGBE Two weeks to Christmas last year, an unfortunate episode happened at Kankara, the headquarters of Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, when gunmen invaded the Government Science Secondary School in the town and abducted over 340 pupils. About 800 students were said to be at the school on December 11 when the attack occurred, but some of the pupils were able to scale the fence of the school and run to safety as the school’s security personnel tried to repel the bandit. Although the schoolboys were freed about six days later, the incident brought back to memory the kidnappings of schoolgirls at Chibok (Borno State) and Dapchi (Yobe State) in 2014 and 2018, respectively.
