Security operatives launch rescue efforts as authorities investigate the latest attack on an educational institution.
Armed gunmen have reportedly invaded a secondary school in Kogi State during the ongoing National Examinations Council (NECO) examination, abducting the school principal and an unspecified number of students.
The attackers were said to have stormed the school while candidates were writing their examination, throwing the premises into panic before taking their victims to an unknown location.
Security agencies have since commenced efforts to rescue those abducted and apprehend the perpetrators.
Authorities are yet to confirm the exact number of students taken, while investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
The latest attack has heightened concerns over the safety of schools across Nigeria and the persistent security challenges facing educational institutions in several parts of the country.
More details are expected as the situation develops.
