 Now at least one million Nigerian children could miss school this year as the new term begins amid a rise in mass school kidnapings and insecurity. The United Nations Children's Agency UNICEF released the figure and its report about abductions in Nigeria. There have been 20 attacks on schools this year alone with more than 1,400 children abducted and 16 dead. More than 200 children are still missing as crews have become targets for mass abductions for ransom in northern Nigeria. Such kidnapings were first carried out by Boko Haram, then later its offshoot Islamic State West Africa province, but the tactic has now been adopted by bandits. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
