Gunmen abduct 25 schoolgirls in northwestern Nigeria
Africanews3 days
Nigeria's government is taking decisive action against the Kebbi school kidnapping with clear directives for rescue operations and justice. The Army Chief has ordered troops to fight day and night until all 25 girls are safely returned, while federal authorities deploy enhanced military capabilities and regional partnerships to combat terrorism.
The Kebbi kidnapping represents a devastating pattern of government failure as mass abductions surge ahead of 2027 elections, with over 1,680 pupils kidnapped since 2014. Nigeria's broken security architecture continues failing schoolchildren while bandits operate with impunity, forcing ransom payments and traumatizing communities nationwide.
