Nigeria police detain 3 suspects in a rare school attack in the south of the country

Gunmen stormed two primary schools in southwestern Nigeria, attacking the Oriire area of Oyo state. Authorities are assessing the number of schoolchildren abducted. The suspects were identified by the community and taken into custody by police. School attacks are rare in this region, which is usually plagued by such incidents in the northern part of the country. Abduction of schoolchildren is common in Nigeria, often for high ransoms.
