The Nigerian Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has ordered an investigation into the recent attack on a girls' school in Kebbi State. This inquiry will focus on reports that soldiers withdrew from the school facility just before the assault.
Armed individuals kidnapped several students from the school on Monday. The military's investigation aims to determine the facts behind the alleged withdrawal of its troops.
A statement from the DHQ confirmed the probe into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The results of the investigation will likely inform future security measures for schools in the region.
