Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday sent troops to rescue more than 250 pupils kidnapped by gunmen from a school in the country’s northwest in one of the largest mass abductions in three years.
“Early in the morning… we heard gunshots from bandits. Before we knew it, they had gathered up the children,” resident Musa Mohammed told AFP. “Nothing else is acceptable to me and the waiting family members of these abducted citizens. Justice will be decisively administered.” In the last three years, hundreds of schoolchildren and college students have been kidnapped in mass abductions in the northwest and central region, including in Kaduna.
“Schools are supposed to be sanctuaries of learning and growth, not sites of fear and violence,” UNICEF Nigeria director Cristian Munduate said in a statement.
