More than fifteen hundred students have been abducted from Nigerian schools in recent years, during which multiple young women were taken hostage amid the notorious large-scale kidnapping.

Recently, a minimum of numerous pupils and workers got captured at a learning facility, faith-based academy, situated in local province.

Half a hundred individuals captured at educational facility have since escaped as reported by the Christian Association - however no fewer than 250 remain unaccounted for.

The primary religious leader across the territory has mentioned that national authorities is undertaking "no meaningful effort" to rescue the unaccounted individuals.

The abduction within educational premises marked the third instance to hit Nigeria over recent days, forcing President Bola Tinubu to cancel travel plans to the G20 summit held in the southern nation recently to address the emergency.

UN education envoy Gordon Brown called on the international community to "do our utmost" to assist initiatives to bring back captured students.

The envoy, ex-British leader, stated: "We also have responsibility to make certain learning facilities are safe spaces for learning, instead of locations in which students could be removed from educational settings for criminal profit."
