‘Condemnation of crime not enough’ Armed men have abducted, at least, 950 Nigerian pupils from their schools since December 2020, the United Nations (UN) has said. It estimated that nearly 500 children were abducted in four separate incidents across the North Central and North West parts of the country over the past six weeks alone, as attacks against children deepen in parts of West and Central Africa. Executive Director of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), Henrietta Fore, who disclosed this in a statement yesterday, regretted that many of the children had not yet returned, adding that it was hard to fathom the pain and fear their families and were suffering in their absence.
