Gunmen, about 15 in number, one of them said to be masked, stormed Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary (BMJSS) premises, a co-educational secondary school owned by the Lagos Anglican Diocese in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Monday, March 1st, at about 8pm, shooting sporadically, and kidnapped three senior secondary girls.
Reports has it that the pupils were studying in the Science and Technology Block near the hostel for their examinations, when the gunmen invaded. The hoodlums were resisted by some male students who engaged them in a fight, but had to retreat when the hoodlums inflicted machete cuts on one of them.
The arrival of the school’s security men, who joined the students, forced the invaders to escape through the fence, but not after kidnapping three female students.
During her visit to the school, on Wednesday, march 2, Lagos state deputy governor, Dr (Mrs) Idiat Oluranti Adebule, gave an assurance that the administration, with the combined efforts of all the security agencies will ensure that the children, are rescued very soon.
