A local leader, who chose to remain unnamed, verified the occurrence to Daily Trust, characterizing the situation as concerning.

“They arrived in the area and went straight to a nearby school, thinking they would find students. However, the school was empty, so they proceeded to the PHC in Kuyello and abducted the nurses on duty,” the source said.

Another youth leader from Kuyello, Baba Isah, has also verified the occurrence.

He mentioned that the two nurses were present during the assault by the bandits.

It is still uncertain whether any patients were taken, as the majority had already departed from the hospital.

At the time of this report, there had been no official statement regarding the incident from the state government or the police.
