Gunmen Hijack Children School Bus in Nyanya, Abuja

A school bus belonging to a private school this morning, 6^th of May, 2014 has been hijacked in Nyanya, Abuja by gunmen. Confusion and panic in Karu and Nyanya areas of Abuja after reports that suspected Boko Haram members hijacked a school-bus this morning and kidnapped school children went viral. I hear anxious parents have even withdrawn their wards from schools there because of the scare.
The stories initially had it that two schools were invaded - Ave Maria Girls Secondary School and Vine International Academy but here is the true story - Ave Maria was not involved. The school proprietor of Ave Maria confirmed on phone that their school wasn't involved. But at Vine International Academy in Nyanya, their school bus was taken this morning by gunmen.
Vine International school's proprietress confirmed the gunmen tried to enter her school but eventually couldn’t. And NO child was taken away by them. Just their school bus.
Security in Nyanya really needs to be boosted cos residents are so scared. Someone living there, in Federal Housing Estate Nyanya, sent me a mail saying the government needs to bring in more troops into Nyanya, cos apparently, it seems Boko Haram has invaded the Nyanya environment.
