Unidentified gunmen have abducted at least 300 schoolgirls in an attack on a boarding school in the northwest Nigerian state of Zamfara.
The Gunmen came with vehicles and moved the students, they also moved some on foot, according to local officials.
The overnight incident is the second mass kidnapping in a week.
A hike in armed militancy in the northwest has brought about a breakdown of security in the north of Africa's most populous country, where school kidnappings are becoming endemic.
Zamfara is one of the states that is continuously being attacked by these gun-men, abductions for ransom, and raiding for villages. (ILKHA)
