Terrorists kill vice principal, 2 others in Kogi, Edo shuts schools

Terrorists have again targeted educational institutions in Nigeria, this time striking Iluke Bunu in the Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State. The attack, which occurred yesterday, resulted in the deaths of a vice principal and two other individuals. Additionally, three students who were preparing to write their West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams were abducted.

This latest assault comes less than a month after a series of terrorist attacks on three schools in Oyo State. In that incident, no fewer than 40 pupils, along with teachers, were abducted, highlighting a disturbing pattern of violence against students and educators.

The recurring nature of these attacks has raised serious concerns about the security of schools and the safety of students across Nigeria. The abduction of students, particularly those on the verge of crucial examinations, adds a layer of tragedy to the already dire security situation.
