Heartbreak: Over 200 Children and Teachers Abducted by Bandits In Kaduna

A terrifying ordeal unfolded in Kaduna State as bandits unleashed chaos on Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School in Kuriga, leaving a community reeling in shock and anger. Over 280 innocent pupils and educators were forcibly taken, prompting widespread condemnation and urgent calls for their safe return.

Outrage echoed across the nation as the Jama’atu Nasril Islam, Amnesty International, Nigeria’s education stakeholders, and lawmakers united in demanding swift action from the government. The brazen attack, which saw assailants storming the schools, firing shots, and seizing hostages, has plunged the region into despair.

Adding to the grim tally of abductions, this incident follows closely on the heels of the kidnapping of 200 internally displaced women in Borno State, further underscoring the pervasive threat of insecurity in Nigeria’s northeast.

The grim reality of insecurity has forced the relocation of the secondary school to the primary school premises, highlighting the dire circumstances faced by communities grappling with violence and unrest.

As the nation grapples with the recurring nightmare of abductions, urgent action is imperative to stem the tide of terror and bring solace to those held captive by fear.
