Gunmen kidnap almost 300 school children in Nigeria. The abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls caused worldwide consternation almost exactly ten years ago.

Now almost 300 children have been abducted from a school in Nigeria again. An armed group attacked a primary and secondary school in the town of Kuriga in the northwestern state of Kaduna on Thursday morning. A teacher, Sani Abdullahi, told local television station Kaduna State Media Television that 187 secondary school students and 125 primary school students were initially reported missing. Of these, 25 children have now returned.
