Amnesty: 18 school abductions since Chibok put education at risk
Amnesty International warns Nigeria's failure to halt school abductions threatens education of an entire generation. Since 2014 Chibok abduction, at least 18 mass kidnappings documented nationwide. Rights group cites authorities' consistent failure to protect children and teachers from armed groups. Accountability lacking for previous victims.
Displacement crisis grows: Sokoto State recorded 105% IDP increase (88,562 to 181,526) February-March 2026. Zamfara hardest by banditry saw 36.5% rise (204,576 to 279,224). School security remains critical in affected regions.
Amnesty urges urgent action: improve school security, prevent further abductions, ensure justice for victims. Northern regions most severely affected as insecurity displaces thousands monthly. How should communities balance access to education with safety concerns?
