Gunmen kidnapped at least nine students from a Nigerian school in the latest in a series of school abductions that started when Islamic militants abducted over 200 schoolgirls in 2014.
At least nine students have been abducted by gunmen during a late-night raid on their school in northern Nigeria’s Kogi state, authorities said Friday, the third such abduction amid rampant kidnappings targeting schools in the conflict-hit region this year.
The official said local hunters were helping security forces in 'combing' the school area, which is surrounded by bushes in the remote Osara town. Nigeria has struggled with several mass school kidnappings since the first such incident in 2014 when Islamic extremists abducted more than 200 schoolgirls from the northeastern Chibok village, sparking the global #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign.
