Police in Nigeria say 25 girls have been abducted by bandits from a secondary school in Nigeria's Kebbi state.

One staff member was killed and another injured in the abduction.

The incident occurred at 4am local time on Monday, according to police. There were no other details immediately available.

This is the latest school abduction in Nigeria's northern region where armed groups have targeted school children since 2014.
