Quick Glance: Large Number of Students Abducted in Nigeria - Alarming
  • Following the abduction of over 200 individuals, mostly women and children, by gunmen in northeastern Nigeria, another attack occurred.

  • A school headteacher reported that armed men attacked a primary school in Nigeria's northwest region and abducted nearly 300 students.

  • The attack took place shortly after the morning assembly at 8 am, where almost 200 pupils were taken hostage before aid arrived.
