The school is an arm of Calvary ministries and is about 60 kilometres from Jos, the state capital.

 

A global mission leader and President Para-Mallam Peace Foundation, Reverend Gideon Para-Mallam confirmed to Channels TV that the attackers broke the rear fence of the school where a hole was drilled to gain access into the school compound and abducted the students.

 

He further stated that the intervention of security agencies prevented what could have been another mass abduction as the assailants fled after realising the reinforcement of security in the area.

 

Three of the students escaped as the abductors fled.

 

The Plateau State Police Command has yet to comment on the abduction.
