The five students and 34 of their colleagues were abducted by kidnappers who invaded the school on March 11, 2021.

The kidnappers stormed the school very early in the morning with the intention to abduct many students in what can be described as a silent attack.

Their operation was, however, thwarted by soldiers who promptly responded to a distress call and engaged the marauders in a fierce gunfight.
