Aggrieved parents of abducted students of Bethel Secondary School in Maramara, Chickun Local Government Area of Kaduna state have chased away government officials led by the state’s Commissioner for Internal Security, Samuel Aruwan, who came to express sympathy over the abduction of their children.

Bandits had on Monday attacked the school located on the outskirts of the Kaduna state capital, whisking away over 160 students.

The gunmen were said to have invaded the school around 2am.

However, about 26 of the abducted students have reportedly been rescued by the police.

Flavision learnt that the gunmen also killed two soldiers identified as Private Salisu Rabiu and Ordinary Seaman Bilal Mohammed.

The incident is the second abduction in the state within the last 24 hours.

The development comes just hours after bandits abducted babies, female nurses and security guards from the residential quarters of the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre (NTLC) in Zaria, on Sunday.

In a trending video seen by Flavision, Aruwan, who is the commissioner in charge of internal security was chased away by some parents of the abducted students during a visit to the school few hours after the attack.

The commissioner was forced back into his official car as the parents rained abuses and curses on him and the Nasir El-Rufai-led state government.

Go home! Go home! We don’t want you here, Go back, we don’t want to see here,

they were heard shouting in the video.
