Adeyemi added that once the gunmen gained entry, they started shooting sporadically to scare students and teachers away.

He said all efforts by the management to rescue the abducted pupils from their abductors were not successful as the gunmen overpowered them with sophisticated guns and other weapons.

“They came with sophisticated guns and weapons and started shooting sporadically to frustrate us from rescuing our pupils they had abducted as everybody was running for safety.

“I got the governor on phone about three hours later and he contacted the Commissioner of Police and other top security agencies.
