37 students missing in Nigeria after yet another jihadist kidnapping

At least 36 students and one school staff member are missing after gunmen stormed a secondary school in northeastern Nigeria during national examinations. Classrooms in Lassa, Borno state, were left abandoned, with desks, schoolbags and exam papers scattered across the floor. Desperate parents have taken to the streets, urging authorities to secure the children’s release, while a teacher wounded in the attack remains in intensive care. The latest abduction highlights the continuing threat of mass school kidnappings in northern Nigeria.
