No fewer than 276 female students were kidnapped from the school by Boko Haram terrorists in 2014. Some of the victims escaped while some are still unaccounted for.

In 2021, two former students of the school who were among those captured graduated from the Southeastern University, Florida, US.

Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu escaped while being transported by their abductors.
