Share this article

The Kogi State Government has confirmed the rescue of 15 pupils following an attack on an unregistered orphanage and school facility in Zariagi, along the Kabba Junction. The incident occurred late on April 26 when unknown gunmen invaded the Dahallukitab Group of School, abducting 23 pupils and the wife of the proprietor. Security agencies, led by the Nigeria Police Force, responded swiftly to the remote location, leading to the rescue of the majority of the victims. Commissioner for Information Kingsley Fanwo condemned the facility for operating illegally in an isolated, bushy area without state registration, warning that such unauthorized institutions pose severe security risks to children.
