Kankara kidnap: Zamfara closes 10 schools on boundaries with Katsina, Kaduna

Zamfara state has shut down 10 schools in locations close to its border with Katsina and Kaduna in the wake of the kidnap of students from GSSS Kankara, Katsina.

Zamfara education commissioner Ibrahim Gusau said the closure was to forestall any breakdown of law and order in the state and ensure student safety.

Other schools outside of the affected locations continue academic activities, he said.

“The affected schools are at a location sharing boundaries with Katsina and Kaduna states and given the current situation in the neighbouring Katsina state we felt compelled to close these schools even though the term is ending in one week’s time,” he said.

  • G.S.S Birnin Magaji (Boarding)
