(Worthy News) – Islamic extremists kidnapped 140 students from the Bethel Baptist High School in Nigeria’s Kaduna state on Monday, International Christian Concern reports. Islamic terrorists are estimated to have abducted 1000 students from schools across Nigeria since the end of last year.
The Bethel school was founded by the Bethel Baptist Church in Kaduna, a member church of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), Morning Star News reports. The 140 students were kidnapped at gunpoint by terrorists who breached the school walls at around 2 am Monday. In a statement, Mustapha Kumbe, father of one of the abducted students, said: “We call on the international community, we call on every person that is involved or that is responsible in any way that can eliminate our problems, to come to our aid. We do not have help anymore. Please, they should come to our aid,”
