Mass Abduction Targets Catholic School

Armed terrorists stormed a Catholic boarding school in western Nigeria on Friday, successfully kidnapping over 200 schoolchildren and 12 teachers in a brazen daylight attack. The Christian Association of Nigeria confirmed the devastating assault, which demonstrates the complete breakdown of security in regions where radical elements operate freely. This coordinated attack on a religious educational institution represents both an assault on Christian communities and a direct attack on children’s fundamental right to safe education.

Watch;

Pattern of Educational Institution Attacks

The Friday kidnapping continues Nigeria’s alarming trend of mass abductions targeting schools and educational facilities. Criminal groups and terrorist organizations have increasingly viewed schools as soft targets, knowing that attacks on children generate maximum fear and leverage for ransom demands. The systematic targeting of educational institutions undermines the foundation of civil society and threatens to collapse Nigeria’s already fragile educational system. Parents across the region now face the impossible choice between their children’s education and their safety.

Christian Persecution Intensifies

The deliberate targeting of a Catholic institution reflects the broader pattern of Christian persecution occurring throughout Nigeria’s unstable regions. Religious minorities face escalating violence from radical groups who operate with minimal government interference or consequences. The international community’s tepid response to these attacks emboldens perpetrators and abandons vulnerable Christian communities to face terrorism alone. This systematic persecution mirrors patterns seen in other regions where weak governance allows extremist ideology to flourish unchecked.

Government Failure Enables Terrorism

Nigeria’s inability to prevent these mass kidnappings exposes fundamental failures in national security and law enforcement capabilities. The government’s reactive approach allows terrorist groups to plan and execute complex operations against civilian targets without meaningful deterrence. Inadequate military presence and intelligence gathering in vulnerable regions creates safe havens for criminal organizations to operate and expand their influence. Until Nigeria implements decisive action against these groups, innocent children and families will continue suffering under the constant threat of violence and abduction.
