Gunmen suspected to be bandits have stormed Federal Government College, Birnin-Yauri in Kebbi State and abducted an unspecified number of students and staff.
The police in Kebbi confirmed the attack to newsmen.
The abduction is the latest in a series of school kidnappings that have rocked the country in recent times.
In late May, about 200 students of an Islamiyya school in Niger state were abducted by gunmen.
The abductors usually demand a ransom before students are released.
The government has also repeatedly promised to end the abduction of students across the country.

The school kidnappings have persisted as the country continues to battle several security challenges, including but not limited to an insurgency in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, secessionist agitations in the South-East and Fulani-Herdsmen crises across the Middle-Belt and several South-West states.
