Armed men attempted to kidnap more students in Nigeria's Kaduna state overnight on Sunday, a state government official said, as 39 others from an earlier attack remain missing.

Attacks by armed gangs, usually referred to as bandits, have intensified across northwest Nigeria in recent years. Four school kidnappings since December have provoked nationwide outrage.

Some 39 students, including a pregnant woman, are still missing from Thursday's abduction from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, in northwest Nigeria. Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna state commissioner of internal security and home affairs, said police, army and others had repelled attacks on another school and at a local government office near Kaduna airport.

"The Kaduna state government extends its unequivocal solidarity to the military, police, department of state services and other security agencies, whose swift intervention prevented the bandits from abducting more persons," Aruwan said.

Does Nigeria has security, always students are taken away, it's like it's normal right now ☹️😭😭😭😭

This is business in Nigeria even the government officials are involved in this. After every kidnapping, discussions are held where a ransom is negotiated. They then split it and do it again and again. That's Nigeria for you

The Nigerians in SA are busy fucking up our country instead of going back and save their own country
