The source said: “It happened last night (Wednesday) at about 7.45pm, when shootings went on simultaneously at three areas of the town by some hoodlums. We are suspecting they were same herdsmen that came to our school premises, killed one of our Teachers, abducted our Principal, shot two teachers, before the community youths and vigilante, joined by mobile policemen, rescued them in sometimes in October last year.
“The community have of recent come under attacks, which led to the death of a school Teacher with others receiving various degree of injuries that kept them in hospital till early last month.
“As I speak the entire community have gathered at the palace, while the vigilante men have entered the bush, trying to trail them and see if they could rescue the girl, but the kidnappers have called and are now asking for N10 million ransom. The girl’s mother was spared, perhaps because she is nursing a little baby.
