Nigerian police has launched a rescue mission after gunmen stormed a secondary school and kidnapped a number of children.
The attack took place in President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, and police and the military were still working to determine how many were kidnapped and missing.
Just two days before the school abduction a village elder along with 20 others was kidnapped in the same state.
Al Jazeera’s Barbara Angopa reports.

Praying for them 💔
If praying ever worked, it would be a first.
Boko haram??
Nigerians plus their govt are jokers!!! Somebody in the government is making money with these abductions.
Is the religion of peace
@Godwin Win wait how?
When you called Boko Haram armed group instead of terrorist then this channel should not be talking about human right of other countries
@Yes, Amit, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
In islam terrorists are martyrs of Allah 😂😂
It’s an international channel they cannot shade their own perspective they have to be neutral
@Ash well you must be aware as Boko Haram is an UN recognized terrorisit organisation and also from several countries ..If Al Jazeera follows their own rules over UN then THEIR COUNTRY should move out of UN as they not follow normal ethics of any organization
That’s why in general people are desperate for social/politicial stability and harmony. What is the point of development when there is no safety? China embraces stability and harmony while the West, due to their model, is increasingly chaotic, divided and messy… America is not only chaotic themselves but also bringing chaos to other countries, such as Iraq, Afghanistan… Chaotic election 2020 in America is the proof for this attitude and mindset in the West.
Islsm..The religion of Peace😂😂
We don’t appreciate you always respect others religions if other people criticize your religion how you feel. the world is worsen by those enjoying blowing the fire
@Aman Jaiswal religion is sacred even your religion too it should be respect
@james ogah religion remain as religion those funny fellows should be blame to take the name of religion
and yes there are lots of peace organisations around the world
My guy, about 1/4th the population is. You only hear about the 000001.% get a clue.
Poland had since 2000 0 teror*st attack guess why?
Because they kicked islam from their system , simple
World needs to learn from Poland
Wonder why oman is the 4th safest country?
@IT’S HONOR why?
World needs to learn from poland and kick islam out of this world
The government should be held culpable.And it should resign immediately! Why do they have to play with people’s lives yet they never fail to collect taxes. The bandits are not operating in the Atlantic ocean. Just how useless is the Nigerian security apparatus that it cannot track down a few hundred poorly trained novice criminals?
Maybe the government are involved
But as the saying goes, every politician loves a crisis. It can be exploited in various ways like justifying extra judicial killings, harassing opponents and also for seeking foreign aid to be squandered…
Oh Allah forgive us and give us janatulfirdos whenever we will die
Africa it’s not COLONIZERS who are your downfall anymore. It’s YOU🙄 your ignorant ineptitude and your inability to protect and respect your people is a DISGRACE to yourself and your ANCESTORS 🙄👎🏿👎🏾 the ONLY leader on that continent who get it, is Pail Kagame in Rwanda. He is what none of the rest of you seem to know how to be. You’re an embarrassment to yourselves.
Peaceful religion strike again
Your comment had me ☠️ you are 10000% right
what religion has to do knapping… Its just
@Abass Khan Barrow ikr these people is a joke🤣😂.
@Abass Khan Barrow Islam always does evil things like terrorism and this kidnapping was done by Islamic group Boko haram
you would think these dumbasses would learn by now to hire armed guards to guard the schools, but i guess there are protected by allah
This report failed to mention that these students were kidnapped on the same day president Buhari visited Kastina State on a weeklong holiday.
All the security agencies concentrated on protecting the lifeless president and no one cared for the poor students. Up till now, Buhari has not visited the scene of the attack although he is few kilometres away, within the same State.
NIGERIA HAS NO PRESIDENT AND THE MEDIA HAS NOT INFORMED THE REST OF THE WORLD.
They will study here and they will come to China for gogo dance
Who in their right mind wld want to move to Nigeria. Boko haram, constant power outage, corruption, poor sanitation, fraud etc. Its just a failed state
@Serenity what a ridiculous statement to make. What cultural values are invading the Western world? The same Western world that many Nigerians migrate to and thrive as top performers in their endeavours?!
Religion of peace ✌️😂😂
@Test Ground bruh hows that related?
@IT’S HONOR Islam always doing evil things like terrorism and calling themselves religion of peace
@Viper , as if Christianity doesn’t do the same…smh
Heartbreaking. Why is this news network they ONLY news talking about it? This is unacceptable. The Nigerian government is corrupt and needs to be removed. I hope the kids are returned safely
Tell the western government to end it support of African corrupt government. You say Africa is corrupt but your government benefit from the corruption.
There are some ppl who blame islam for this for no reason its upset me
The kidnappers/bandits/terrorists have perpetrated this dastardly act in the full glare of Mr President.
What a shame that is to him personally 😕 😔 😞 😪 😢 😐
Reasons why I said shut the country down and restart it all over again.
Quote: An empty Aso rock villa and empty President’s office is a thousand times better than 1million buhari’s put together”
Best to divide Nigeria.
Each region will have its own army and fresh leaders to lead.
Is it not now very clear that all the security chiefs should and must be fired by all means….even if Buhari does not want to fire them.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Those Diaspora Africans can only wish for better images of a unified Africa being flashed across the globe.
A unified africa is a disaster.
@Vincent Mbogo And you know this how? It looks as if she’s not living up to her potential engaged in all this infighting.
Do you think that the government value herself mind valuing other people. When it comes to IPOB and Endsars they flex muscles….This is their responsibility and they cannot undertake the task… Big mouths for nothing
Where is Garba Sheu, Femi Adesina or Lai Muhammed? They need to come out to help the government rationalize this abduction. Let me guess, the abducted children did not obtain clearance from the Army before going to school. Perhaps, the abduction is a “photo shop”?
No security guards,no cameras at the school?With this corona time and still doing bad things?
I dont think they have the funds to invest on cameras
What’s is going on in this world god help us
Nigeria is not the world just a part with shity old leaders
Amen
*sometimes Europe should learn from Poland*
Wonder what they want them for.
Buhari and the security forces have simply failed the people
Nigeria need a muslim government that respect human rights. Where all the goverm ENT accountable for this inhumane deeds. Allah sees all corrupt and evil deeds THESE men do. They CAN’T hid from God.
In America the black people will began not to come to Nigeria or any other African state.while this kinapping is going on. Because it is reminding them . what happen to our ancestors 160 years ago. We were kinapped out of Africa.
Kidnapped? I thought they were sold?
I believe the men who kinapped these student were disbelievers and do not fear Allah. I make dua to to bring these students back to their family. Inshallah.
Why? why ? For what purpose ?
Ransom
That plus human trafficking and organ doners etc
Nigerian army is stationed in my peaceful village in Imo state and on our high ways, collecting bribes from innocent civilians. So, who is guiding the North from Boko Haram and Bandits?
You think they use the kids for human trafficking and organ doners?
Human Trafficking
Gulag?
Fake news….nothern nigeria is peaceful
Ur joke is not funny
What has our country become?
Abductions, rape, sexual exploitation, prejudice against minorities, no stable supplies of food and electricity, corruption, tolerance of rape an violence, no schools, and probably alot of debt.
Nigeria is called the giant of Africa but were still acting like children, its disappointing to see something like this happening and we cant put the not blame our leaders, our society is difficult, sometimes filled with hatred and toxicity.
We have to change, so that we can leave a good place for out next generation.
Shame poor girls look terrified 🇿🇦😥
YOU CALL THAT A BOARDING SCHOOL, LOOK WHERE THOSE POOR BOYS HAD TO SLEEP. I WOULD NOT SEND MY DOG THERE. A SHAME OF A SCHOOL.
AN EVEN BIGGER SHAME TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE SCHOOL. KNOWING BAD PEOPLE WHERE OUT THERE, TAKING CHILDREN FROM SCHOOLS THEY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT THEIR OWN STUDENTS. WHAT A FECKING SHAME. THOSE B. H. BASTARDS ARE NOT RELIGIOUS AT ALL. AS KIDNAPPING IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. FORBIDDEN.
Nigeria – the land of corruption. You’re children are gone because the government is so corrupt and you don’t pay any taxes.
This is just not right. What is happening? Where is safeguarding for the children? We are not safe then
Nigeria is not a country. Nigeria is a British company.
You can’t seriously be blaming the UK for this? 😂
Our African brothers in Nigeria should stem out Bolo Haram, they are one of the four cornerstone of Africa in 2020 it’s unacceptable that a terror group can kidnap kids. Time to stand Fighters from South Africa.
This is ridiculous. Why take the children..
STILL SOME SAY ……….I LOVE JIHAD
This is sad!
Nigeria is a country? or a Village?
God forbid! For bad things.
The islamist have realized an educated person is counter productive.
Boko Haram did it. But Al Jazeera will not mention that. Wonder why..
