Troops ordered to leave Kebbi school 45 minutes before bandit attack – Governor

Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris publicly stated that troops were ordered to withdraw from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, just 45 minutes before bandits abducted 25 students (with two escaping) on November 18, 2025.

He raised this during a meeting with Nigeria Labour Congress President Joe Ajaero on November 21, 2025, questioning the authorization amid prior intelligence warnings from the Department of State Services (DSS).

Troops had been deployed after an emergency security council meeting but left around 3:00 a.m., with the attack striking by 3:45 a.m., killing the vice principal.
