Unknown gunmen have abducted five persons, including a male serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), three teachers (one a nursing mother) and a security man guarding the school in Rivers State.
According to report, the victims were abducted on Monday at the Government Secondary School, Agba-Ndele, in Emohua Local Government Area of the state.
Ogechi Nwachukwu, who claimed to have witnessed the incident, said the kidnappers spent the night at the corps members' lodge because the NYSC members in the community had abandoned the building due to insecurity.
"Around 10.00 a.m., the kidnappers, armed and numbering about 10, came from the corps members lodge. They first took the security guard identified as Jonathan Woforu, who, then shouted, 'militants, militants'.
"The security guard's shout attracted the attention of everyone. Thereafter, they went after the teachers, who fled alongside the students.
"They were taking away five teachers and the guard, but one teacher was resisting. They then beat him with their guns and went away with the rest.
"Those abducted included the security man, a male corps member, two female teachers, one being a nursing mother and one male teacher," she said.
According to Nwachukwu, the kidnappers, who wore army uniforms with masked faces, took the victims to the nearby Sembrero River from where they zoomed off through a waiting boat.
The state police command confirmed the incident as its spokesperson, DSP
Ahmad Muhammad, said security operatives had intensified efforts to track down the bandits.
"We are doing all it takes to safely rescue the two abducted females, a teacher and youth corps member "he said.
