The reason? A wave0:10of mass kidnappings that has turned0:12schools into targets. At least 10 mass0:14abductions in just the past 2 years have0:16affected more than 650 pupils and staff.0:19In Oyo State alone, 46 children and0:21teachers were abducted from their school0:23on May 15th. They spent nearly 2 months0:26in captivity before being rescued on0:28July 10th. But the terror did not end0:30there. In June, a teacher was taken0:32hostage and then executed, a killing0:35that sent shockwaves through the country0:36and triggered teacher strikes across the0:38region. The National Union of Teachers0:41has raised alarms repeatedly. They say0:43schools are no longer safe places of0:45learning. They are hunting grounds.0:47Families in Oyo have begun abandoning0:49their homes out of fear, and the union0:51warns the crisis will only deepen0:52without protection for teachers and0:54students. Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo0:56State called for the United Nations to0:58investigate the May abduction. But the1:00Nigerian Senate rejected that request,1:02raising serious questions about1:04accountability. With no UN inquiry and1:06no clear federal plan, the families of1:08millions of children are left asking who1:10will protect them. 19 million children1:12are now living in fear. Without a change1:14in policy, without security reform, the1:17numbers will only grow. The question1:19before Nigeria and before the1:21international community is whether the1:23world's most vulnerable students have1:24been left behind.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗
