Nigeria faces a mounting crisis as unidentified gunmen kidnap an unspecified number of students from a Catholic school in Niger state, following a similar incident just days prior. The Nigerian government denies claims of a Christian genocide, as suggested by former US President Donald Trump. A grandparent, Dauda Chekula, reports four of his grandchildren among the missing, with no information on their fate. This incident is the third mass school abduction in Niger state in a decade, with no group claiming responsibility. The region grapples with widespread insecurity, including kidnappings for ransom, as evidenced by the recent abduction of thirty-eight worshippers from a church in Kwara state.
