Fifteen children were kidnapped from a school in Nigeria, almost two days after around 300 students were taken hostage. Gunmen invaded the Gidan Bakuso village in Sokoto state at about 1am on Saturday, police spokesman Ahmad Rufa'i said. The gang seized the children from their hostel before security forces could arrive, and also abducted one woman from the village.
Locals told reporters that gunmen surrounded the school in Kuriga town around 8am local time on Thursday, just as classes were about to start. 'We will ensure that every child will come back,' Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna state, told villagers on Thursday. 'We are working with the security agencies.' On 6 March, a group suspected to be Islamist insurgents abducted 50 people, mostly women, in the remote Gamboru area - on the border with Chad and Cameroon.
