Abuja, November 21 (Xinhua) — An unknown number of students were abducted on Friday morning when terrorists attacked a school in Niger State, central Nigeria, local authorities said.

The attack took place at St. Mary's Private School in the Agwara area at around 2:00 a.m. local time /1:00 a.m. GMT/, Niger State Secretary to the Government Abubakar Usman said.

“The exact number of abducted students has not yet been confirmed, and security forces continue to assess the situation,” he said.

The attack was the second such incident this week in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. On Monday, at least 25 schoolgirls were abducted from a government secondary school in Kebbi State, in the country's north.
