“They broke down the door with a stone and abducted the Registrar’s younger sister, whom we were told has just gained admission into the school,” she said.

“They also took away with them a family member’s phone, which means they are likely to call later today to demand a ransom.

The incident comes three months after gunmen attacked the same staff quarters, abducting the son of the institution’s Chaplain, Reverend Andrew Dido, who was subsequently freed after the payment of ransom by family members.
