MASS KIDNAPPINGS: ‘Education of 5, 330, 631 schoolchildren disrupted’
On

Attacks on schools and kidnapping of students are taking a huge toll in the North as no less than 5, 330, 631 students in states in that part of Nigeria have had their education disrupted, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
This has further compounded the out-of-school situation in the country as parents withdraw their children from school to evade attacks and kidnapping. Since 2014 when the first mass abduction of 276 schoolchildren by Boko Haram elements took place in Chibok, Borno State, there have been six other similar incidents in the country. 310 schoolgirls were kidnapped in Dapchi, Yobe State in February 2018.
