Armed men have abducted an unspecified number of pupils from St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger state, Nigeria, marking a second school kidnapping within a week. This incident follows the recent kidnapping of 25 schoolgirls from a boarding school in Kebbi state on Monday.
In response to increasing security threats, authorities had previously ordered the temporary closure of all boarding schools in the region. Niger state officials have stated that the exact number of pupils taken during this latest incident remains unconfirmed as security agencies continue to evaluate the situation.
This resurgence of attacks by armed groups in Nigeria highlights ongoing concerns regarding safety in educational institutions.
