# Armed men abducted 25 female students from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State in north-western Nigeria. The assailants, armed with rifles and reportedly using coordinated tactics, stormed the school on Monday and killed the vice principal before kidnapping the students. Another staff member sustained gunshot wounds. This is the first major school abduction since March 2024, when more than 200 pupils were seized from a school in Kuriga, Kaduna state. Most of the school abductions in the country have been attributed to Boko Haram.
