UNICEF on Tuesday urged the Nigerian government to ensure the immediate release of the 25 schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi State and to fully implement the 2015 Safe Schools Declaration following the latest school attack that left a vice-principal dead. The call followed Monday’s assault on a Government Girls School in the Maga community of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area, where gunmen killed the vice-principal and abducted the students, prompting renewed concern over persistent attacks on schools in the Northwest.
