Listen to this story
22 Nov 2025
On The Crisis Room, we’re following insecurity trends across Nigeria .
Between 2014 and 2025, at least 1,880 students have been abducted across Nigeria.
It’s a staggering number on its own, but it becomes even heavier when you realise these are children whose dreams, confidence, and sense of safety have been repeatedly disrupted.
And this tragic pattern continues. Just this Monday, Nov. 17, in Kebbi State, terrorists abducted at least 25 students of the Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga.
Today on The Crisis Room, we talk about the effect of this abduction on children.
Hosts: Salma
Guests: Hauwa Shaffii Nuhu and Professor Auwal Inuwa
