The number of students abducted by armed groups in two days in Nigeria has risen to more than 295 in two separate incidents in the northwest.
An Islamic school in Nigeria’s northwestern state of Sokoto was horrifically kidnapped, with gunmen abducting at least 15 students.
The kidnapping came just two days after another kidnapping in Kaduna state, where 280 children were abducted from their school in the village of Guidan Bakousu in the Gada region.
The school’s principal, Liman Abu Bakr, said the gunmen were walking in front of the school with a woman they kidnapped in another part of the city, where students woke up to her screams, noting that the students were between the ages of 8 and 14.
Nigerian President Paula Ahmed Tinubu mobilized security forces to find students abducted by gunmen in an attack on a school in the northwest.
These incidents come amid increasing cases of kidnapping, where abductees are often released after paying a ransom, otherwise they are killed by their captors.
