Why can’t Nigeria stop the kidnapping of schoolchildren? | Inside Story
It is every parent’s nightmare – the kidnapping of their children.
It happens all too often in Nigeria.
In the second mass abduction within a week, gunmen kidnapped what some reports say are around 300 school children.
Many viewers may remember the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram fighters 10 years ago.
Kidnappings remain common – with thousands of Nigerians seized in the past few years.
The government has promised to improve security – but the army is spread thin.
So why are the attacks still happening? And what needs to be done to make them stop?
