Oyo State tops today’s headlines after a wave of school abductions hit Oriire LGA, with wounded and missing pupils. In brief: southwestern Nigerian state; capital Ibadan.
Armed attackers have abducted dozens of students from a primary school in Mussa, Borno State, and at least 40 more from a Baptist school in Oyo State. Authorities are assessing numbers while rights groups warn that abductions are driving families to pull children from school.
