2 were killed in an attack on a church in Nigeria, in some days dozens of schoolchildren were kidnapped

Two people were killed in an attack on a church in Central Nigeria, authorities said, in just days a number of school schools they were captured and one person killed them in the north of the country.

No group has claimed responsibility for Tuesday night’s attack in the central city of Eruku. The police responded with gunshots and found one person shot inside the church and another Kwara police spokesperson, Etoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said in a statement.

Kwarimo State Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in a statement on Wednesday commended Nigerian President Bola Tinubu for the deployment of 900 additional soldiers there.

Tinibu has delayed his departure from South Africa, where he plans to attend the 20th edition of the conference of the 20 best brands in the world after the attack and the launch of 24 schools on Monday, Bayo Indanuga’s spokesperson said in a statement.

One of the 25 students abducted in North West Nigeria Edukayo

Five schoolgirls were reportedly abducted from a government all-girls secondary school in Kebbi State’s Maga Town Town, but one escaped and is now safe, the principal of the school told related media on Tuesday. Hunters were looking for the remaining missing students in the woods near the school.

Neither party claimed responsibility for the arrest. Gangs of bartits often target schools, travelers and remote locals for ransom, according to analysts and locals.

Local police said the gunmen dislodged the fence of the school grounds and exchanged gunfire with police before taking the girls and killing the staff.

Trump tells Pentagon to ‘prepare for possible action’ over persecution of Christians in Nigeria

Meanwhile, President Trump earlier this month they assert that Christianity faces an “existential threat” in Nigeria and told the Pentagon to begin preparing for military action in the West African nation.

In a public outcry late last month, Mr Trump accused the Nigerian government of not doing enough to stop the killing of Christians, ‘gunfire’

The Nigerian government has strongly denied the claims. Tinibu said the status of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the reality of the country. While Christians are among those targeted, analysts say most of the victims of the armed groups are Muslims in Nigeria – mostly in the North, where the attacks took place.

“Religious freedom and tolerance have been the foundation of our united identity and will remain so,” Tinibu said of Nonov. “

Nigeria’s central region has been plagued by violence for years as local farmers and ranchers often clash over limited access to land and water. The riots have taken on a religious dimension, making soldiers on that side mainly Muslim farmers or farmers from Christian communities.

Northern Nigeria is constantly witnessing attacks by the resurgent Boko Haram Group, an affiliate of the Islamist group and armed groups.
