Nigeria: gunmen kidnap children in second school attack

In a new attack by gunmen, schoolchildren have been kidnapped from a Catholic school in Agwara, central Nigeria, France 24 via AFP reported on November 21st.

This is the second school targeted in a space of a week, after a secondary school was attacked in Kebbi state, northwestern Nigeria, and an attack on a church has also taken place with dozens of worshipers believed to have been abducted.

Local authorities are trying to rescue the children and the country is on high alert. These incidents follow Donald Trump’s threats of military action over “Christian persecution” in Nigeria.
