Two girls, among at least 25 children and a teacher kidnapped from a boarding school in Kebbi state, Nigeria, escaped their captors while being led into the bushes. The attack resulted in the deaths of two staff members, including a teacher and a security guard, as armed bandits raided the school. A rescue operation involving soldiers and police is underway, with families anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones. The Nigerian government has expressed deep concern and is committed to ensuring the safety of schoolchildren.
