Saturday's attack was the third mass kidnapping in northern Nigeria since late last week.
Armed men broke into a boarding school in northwestern Nigeria early Saturday and seized 15 children as they slept, police told The Associated Press, about 48 hours after nearly 300 students were taken hostage in the conflict-hit region.School abductions are common in Nigeria's northern region, especially since the 2014 kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls by Islamic extremists in Borno state's Chibok village shocked the world.
The inaccessible roads in the area, however, challenged the rescue operation, he said, adding: 'It is a remote village vehicles cannot go there; they had to use motorcycles to the village.'Saturday's attack was the third mass kidnapping in northern Nigeria since late last week, when more than 200 people, mostly women and children, were abducted by suspected extremists in Borno state.
