(CNN) Hassan Abdul-Bashir was in bed in his dorm in Kankara, Nigeria when the gunshots started on Friday night. But an unknown number of students from the Government Science Secondary School Kankara, including Abdul-Bashir's cousin and friend, remain missing after gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles attacked the school on Friday. "They commanded the crowd like a herdsman herd the sheep," Abdul-Bashir told CNN on Saturday. He said the gunmen were asking students for money, ransacking their lockers and taking some of their belongings. Local police told CNN a large number of attackers riding motorbikes ambushed the boys' secondary school in a possible kidnapping-for-ransom attempt.
