The police have fired teargas at distraught parents of the abducted schoolboys of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, who trooped to the school awaiting the return of the children.
The incident occured at the school premises when the parents booed the governor while speaking to them on the incident.
A witness told BBC Hausa that the policemen had to fire teargas canisters to disperse the protesting parents for the governor’s convoy to move out of the school premises.
At least 600 out of 800 schoolboys are missing, following the mass abduction on Friday night, credible sources in the school told DAILY NIGERIAN.
The police and the state government have refused to disclose the actual number of boys in the school, but maintained that 200 schoolboys have been rescued.
“The police, Nigerian Army, and Nigerian Air Force are working closely with the school authorities to ascertain the actual number of the missing and/or kidnapped students while search parties are assiduously working with a view to find and/or rescue the missing students.
“It will be too early to say at this particular moment the actual number of students that have been kidnapped or missing,” the police said in a statement.
