This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police in Kaduna state did not respond to requests for comment on the abductions, which happened shortly after morning assembly at the Local Government Education Authority School in the town of Kuriga.
Kaduna state Governor Uba Sani visited Kuriga and promised to get the students released, his office said, but did not say how many pupils were missing.
Amnesty International called on Nigerian authorities to safely rescue the students and hold perpetrators to account.
Another parent, Hassan Abdullahi, said local vigilantes had tried to repel the gunmen but had been overpowered.
Kidnappings for ransom by armed men have become endemic in northern Nigeria, disrupting daily lives and keeping thousands of children from attending school.
The last major reported abduction involving school children in Kaduna was in July 2021 when gunmen took more than 150 students in a raid.
