The Vice-Principal’s death was claimed by the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, and 25 students were abducted as a result of the attack, which the Federal Government has condemned.
The Federal Government stated in a statement released on Monday that the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, had given clear instructions to locate, rescue, and safely return the students and that the perpetrators had been brought to justice.
The government expressed deep concern and support for the children’s families, saying it felt the same way about them and was still working to get the girls released.
President Bola Tinubu has once more stated that the State has a solemn duty to protect all Nigerians, especially those who attend school.

The government condemns the abhorrent killing of school officials who were performing their noble duty and the reprehensible attack on innocent students.
Our security and intelligence agencies have received clear instructions to locate, rescue, and safely return the students, as well as to ensure that the criminals are brought to justice. At the end of this goal, the Federal Government will not step back.
“We reassure Nigerians that the top priority is always going to be strengthening internal security.” To better prevent these attacks and respond to threats with greater speed and precision, the federal government is updating its military, policing, and intelligence capabilities.
Through ECOWAS, the African Union, and the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), Nigeria is also strengthening its cooperation with regional partners to protect our borders and combat terrorist and criminal networks. The statement read in part reads, “We urge the public to remain calm and assured.”
When gunmen stormed the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of the state on Sunday night, the students reportedly were evacuated.
According to sources, Malam Hassan Makuku, the vice-principal of the school, was killed before the attackers abducted several schoolgirls.
