Scores of pupils of Mussa Askira Primary School in Uba Local Government Area of Borno State have reportedly been abducted by suspected Boko Haram terrorists belonging to the Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad (JAS) faction.

SaharaReporters gathered that the attack occurred at about 9 a.m. on Friday when the insurgents stormed the school and whisked away several students without resistance.

Sources familiar with the incident told SaharaReporters that despite the presence of military personnel and operational vehicles in the community before the attack, the soldiers allegedly fled into nearby mountains immediately the terrorists approached the area.

According to the sources, the terrorists operated freely for several minutes and carted away the pupils without any confrontation from the Nigerian Army.
