Africa's most populous nation has experienced a spate of abductions over the past few years - amounting to 250 children abducted from religious educational institution recently still missing.

Through an announcement, an appointed consultant of the administration confirmed that every student taken from the school in Kebbi State were now safe, noting that this event triggered similar abductions in two other local territories.

Tinubu announced that extra staff are being positioned to "vulnerable areas to prevent more cases of kidnapping".

Through another message on X, the president commented: "Aerial forces must sustain ongoing monitoring across distant regions, coordinating activities together with infantry to effectively identify, isolate, disrupt, and counteract every threatening factor."

Exceeding 1,500 children have been abducted from Nigerian schools in recent years, during which 276 girls were taken hostage amid the well-known large-scale kidnapping.

Recently, no fewer than 300 children and staff got captured at a learning facility, faith-based academy, located within local province.

Fifty of those captured at learning institution managed to get away as reported by the Christian Association - yet approximately numerous individuals haven't been located.

The main religious leader across the territory has stated that national authorities is making "little substantial action" to recover captured persons.

This kidnapping within educational premises represented the third occurrence affecting the nation within seven days, compelling President Bola Tinubu to cancel travel plans international conference held in the African country at the weekend to deal with the emergency.

United Nations representative Gordon Brown requested global organizations to "do our utmost" to help measures to bring back kidnapped youths.

The representative, a former UK prime minister, stated: "The duty falls upon us to make certain learning facilities provide protected areas for learning, not spaces where children can be plucked from their classroom for illegal gain."
