Gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked the Saint Albert the Great Institute of Philosophy, a Catholic church-owned seminary in Fayit community in Kagoma Chiefdom of Jama’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
They were said to have invaded the school on Monday night and started shooting sporadically, thereby, creating fear among the students and staff of the school.
Confirming the attack, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mohammed Jalige, said three students were abducted by the gunmen, while some others were injured.
