Gunmen kidnap dozens of students in Nigeria’s Borno State

Gunmen have kidnapped dozens of school pupils in Nigeria's northeastern state of Borno, storming Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School while classes were in session. Armed attackers arrived on motorcycles and took several students with them, leaving many behind. The attack bears the hallmark of the Boko Haram group, which has made abductions a key tactic in Nigeria's 17-year armed rebellion. Mass kidnappings have become common in rural areas with little government presence, raising concerns about security gaps.
