They reportedly took three teachers captives and forced them into their waiting jeep and drove away.

One of the witnesses, who would not want his name in print, said he was sitting with his two brothers when he suddenly heard shouts of “kidnappers! Kidnappers.”

“So we ran to the school, but the kidnappers have already gone. The teachers explained that some gunmen came into the school in army uniform

“They abducted three teachers. When our community boys heard the shout of kidnappers, they started running towards the direction of the school, but the kidnappers pointed gun at them.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State command, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, confirmed the abduction of the teachers, saying the “action was carried out in commando style.”
