Teachers and students kidnapped in Nigeria

Six students, three teachers and a bus driver were taken by attackers in south-western Nigeria.

The Ekiti state government said on the internet that the victims were attacked in the town of Emure while coming back from a road trip on Monday night.

The Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, said that the authorities are working hard to find the children and teachers. People are asked to stay and give any information that could help the search.

We don’t know yet who is responsible or if they have asked for money.

In the past few years, kidnapping for money has gotten worse in Nigeria. Armed gangs are taking people from the roads, schools, and towns across the country.

More update on this story soon.
