Nigeria Police Say 15 School Children Were Kidnapped, Days After Armed Gunmen Abducted Nearly 300

Armed men broke into a boarding school in northwestern Nigeria early Saturday and seized 15 children as they slept, police told The Associated Press, about 48 hours after nearly 300 students were taken hostage in the conflict-hit region.

School abductions are common in Nigeria's northern region, especially since the 2014 kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls by Islamic extremists in Borno state's Chibok village shocked the world. Armed gangs have since targeted schools for kidnap ransoms, resulting in at least 1,400 abducted since then.

The gunmen in the latest attack invaded the Gidan Bakuso village of the Gada council area in Sokoto state at about 1 a.m. local time, police said. They headed to the Islamic school where they seized the children from their hostel before security forces could arrive, Sokoto police spokesman Ahmad Rufa'i told the AP.

Nigeria needs to be partitioned into two States so they can all live in Peace.

School abductions are common in Nigeria...says it all about the country. But then the world no longer protects children as we once knew. Now they're up for grabs, for abuse, and murdering even before they’re born....and it appears that's what the world wants.

Boarding schools = dads with fat wallets.

Quick, Biden needs to send the kidnappers aid and a boatload of $$$$ and get the woke to protest against the children.

Update! Guess who's going to Nigeria....?

Many a Deep State's favorite turncoats!

'Non-working Royals' Harry and Meghan will tour Commonwealth nation Nigeria after being invited by the government to take part in 'cultural activities'… days after Harry's UK Invictus event (so will Meghan join him in Britain first?)
