AFP reports: The Christian Association of Nigeria said the new number came “after a verification exercise” following the early Friday mass kidnapping and added that “The total number of victims abducted … is now 303 students and 12 teachers”.
The kidnapping from St Mary’s school in Niger state in central Nigeria came after gunmen on Monday stormed a secondary school in Kebbi state in northwestern Nigeria, abducting 25 girls.
