BEVERLY HILLS, February 26, (THEWILL) – Amnesty International has condemned in strong terms the serial abduction of students in northern Nigeria schools.
The rights group’s exasperation came after over 300 schoolgirls were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in the Talata-Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Reacting to the strings of abductions of students in the north, Amnesty International stated on Twitter that Education was under attack in the region.
“Amnesty International condemns this appalling attack, which is the latest in a string of attacks on schools in northern Nigeria. Attacks on schools and abductions of girls are war crimes.
“Education is under attack in northern Nigeria. Schools should be places of safety, and no child should have to choose between their education and their life. Other children have had to abandon their education after being displaced by frequent violent attacks on their communities.”
