The Boko Haram extremist group has claimed responsibility for abducting 333 schoolboys in Katsina State last week.
Some 333 students of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State remain missing after gun-wielding bandits attacked the school on the night of Friday, December 11, 2020.
Scores of other students managed to escape, local reports say.
