In a distressing surge of violence in Nigeria, over 61 individuals were kidnapped by gunmen in the Buda community, with the attackers firing sporadically. This incident follows closely after nearly 300 students went missing in another attack in the region, leaving 100s dead. Local representatives and a United Nations source reported that armed men abducted dozens of people in Kaduna State, Nigeria, just days after more than 250 students were kidnapped from a school in the same area. Kidnappers have demanded a ransom of $622,000 for the release of 287 students, threatening their lives if the demand is not met. The continuous kidnappings have disrupted families and education, with Esther Joseph revealing the anguish of her daughter Precious Sim being among those kidnapped. The situation is further exacerbated by reports of Muslims murdering two Christians and a reminder of the 276 Chibok school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram 10 years ago, highlighting a string of kidnappings and attacks by terrorists in Nigeria.
🧵10 years ago tonight, 276 Chibok school girls in Nigeria were kidnapped by the heartless terrorist group, Boko Haram. As a mother and educator, I can only imagine the terror the families felt not knowing, not seeing, or not knowing if their loved ones were alive. https://t.co/5vFJAqtReh
