In Nigeria, heightened anxiety surrounds continuous student kidnappings. Recently, two dozen schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi have been released, following an armed assault that resulted in the death of their vice principal and led to 25 girls being taken. Despite this momentary relief, another community faced new kidnappings as ten individuals, including five children and a pregnant woman, were taken in Kwara State. Additionally, parents in Niger State anxiously await the return of over 265 students missing since a massive school kidnapping incident on November 21, where more than 300 were abducted. The Nigerian government faces increasing pressure to address the escalating violence amid ongoing operations to counter the threats.
