A suspected criminal gang attacked the Government Girls Science Secondary School in Jangebe, a village in Zamfara state, around 1 am, police and a local official said. It is Nigeria's third school attack in less than three months -- a series that has revived traumatic memories of the "Chibok girls" kidnapped by jihadists nearly seven years ago.

The reopening of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno, seven years after it was destroyed and 276 school girls ferried away by Boko Haram insurgents, is not as cheery as it should be in view of the prevailing circumstances.
