The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeleke Adeyinka-Bode, confirmed the incident to newsmen on Thursday.

“The attack took place around 12pm; and during the cross fire between police and the bandits some students had been injured and one police officer was injured and another one was killed.

“These are the facts I can give you, for now.”He added that only the principal of the school could give the exact number of students abducted.

“The principal is not in a good state of mind as I am speaking to you now; because parents have trooped into the school searching for their children.

“So the principal cannot make proper head count”, he said.
