37 students kidnapped by jihadists in Nigeria during school exams

Gunmen stormed a secondary school in Lassa, Borno state, northeastern Nigeria, during national examinations, abducting at least 36 students and one staff member. Classrooms were left abandoned with desks, schoolbags and exam papers strewn across the floor. A teacher wounded in the attack is in intensive care, and desperate parents have taken to the streets demanding authorities secure the children's release in what is the latest mass school kidnapping in northern Nigeria.
