A gale of mass abduction has hit Zamfara state as no fewer than 80 students have been reportedly kidnapped in fresh attack by terrorists.
The attack was reported in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
According to a report on British Broadcasting Service, (BBC) Hausa, the children are between the ages of 12 and 17.
The report explained that some parents of the abducted children who spoke to the British broadcaster said the victims were in the bush fetching firewood at about 8:00 a.m. on Friday, when the assailants rounded them up and marched them away into the forest.
Strikes by terrorists have refused to abate in Zamfara despite several government intervention to stem the criminal activity. Hundreds of school children have been kidnapped and some later released upon payment of ransom.
The abductors are yet to reach the parents to make any demands as of the time BBC reported the kidnap.
