Overview
- The raid at the Female Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Danko-Wasagu, occurred around 4 a.m., with students taken from their dormitories.
- Attackers wielded what police described as sophisticated weapons and exchanged gunfire with school guards and deployed tactical units.
- One staff member, identified locally as teacher Malam Hassan Makuku, was killed, and another teacher, Ali Shehu, was wounded.
- Combined teams of police, military personnel and local vigilantes are combing likely escape routes and surrounding forests in a coordinated search-and-rescue effort.
