ANALYSIS: Decade after Chibok abduction, schoolgirls remain preys to terrorists

Exactly ten years ago, terror struck a school in northern Nigeria when heavily armed men, famous for killing, abduction and displacement of citizens, whisked away about 276 girls from their dormitories in Chibok area of Borno state.

The Boko Haram ideology grew in magnitude as more people joined the course and over time, it transformed into a group fixated on completely aborting western learning system. According to UNDP, Boko Haram has caused over 34,000 deaths in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states from 2009 till 2020.Advertisement Another abduction that shook the country occurred recently on March 7, 2024. At least 137 students of Government Secondary School Kuriga in Chikun LGA of Kaduna were kidnapped by bandits who invaded the school.

The report listed insecurity as one of the major causes of girls dropping out of school in Kaduna and Jigawa states. The initiative was inaugurated after the Chibok girl’s abduction to provide safety in Nigerian schools.
