In a stunning and unprecedented statement, Pope Francis has called for the immediate release of 315 students and teachers abducted during a brutal raid on a school in Niger State, Nigeria. The Pontiff described the attack as “heartbreaking and unacceptable,” urging global leaders and local authorities to act swiftly to secure the victims’ freedom.
The mass abduction has sent shockwaves across Nigeria and beyond, reigniting fears over the safety of schools in regions plagued by violent attacks. Families, classmates, and communities are left in despair as the government faces mounting pressure to respond.
“This is a crisis that demands urgent attention,” the Pope said, his voice echoing a rare public intervention on African soil security matters. International human rights organizations have also condemned the attack, calling it a “tragedy that should unite the world in action.”
Authorities in Niger State have confirmed ongoing rescue efforts, but details remain scarce, leaving Nigerians and the global community anxiously awaiting updates on the fate of the abducted students and teachers.
