It was gathered that the incident caused panic among residents in the town who are now appealing to security agencies for protection.
Bandits have abducted some pupils, a head teacher and a driver of Apostolic Faith School in Emure, Ekiti.
According to a video seen by SaharaReporters, sources said the children were kidnapped after school hours on their way to Eporo Ekiti in their school bus.
“The pupils were kidnapped while going to Eporo Ekiti from Emure on their school bus,” the sources said.
It was gathered that the incident caused panic among residents in the town who are now appealing to security agencies for protection.
The police spokesman in Ekiti, Sunday Abutum, could not be immediately reached for comment.
The incident is coming amid the killing of two traditional rulers in the state by suspected bandits.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that bandits suspected to be herdsmen killed Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, David Babatunde and Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Ogunsakin Olushola, after an ambush on their vehicle.
The victims were returning from Ogbe, a neighbouring town in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, when the gun-wielding men struck from a bush between the border communities of the state and Ekiti.
Their corpses were dropped at a bush path before it was evacuated by combined security agents and some vigilantes.
