Suspected members of the
Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, have abducted 103 students in a
daring raid at the Girls Secondary School in Chibok, a town on the
border between Borno and Adamawa States.
The group’s assault on the all-female high school took place on
Monday night. A security source disclosed that members of the extremist
Islamist group killed a soldier guarding the school and inflicted
injuries on several villagers before abducting the students.
The police commissioner in Borno State, Lawan Tanko, confirmed the kidnapping of the students to reporters in the state.

A source who lives near the school said that there was complete chaos during the attack, adding
that the students could put up no resistance to the heavily armed
attackers.
The mass abduction lasted between 9PM -3 AM as sect members made several trips picking and choosing their victims out of the 250 students enrolled in the school.
Residents of the area said that the militants
razed 100 homes because some of the residents initially resisted the
militants.
