We pray for Nigeria, where early this week, gunmen kidnapped eight secondary school students coming from school along with an unknown number of others. Armed gangs in the northwest of the country have carried out violent attacks against villagers, schools and motorists. It is unclear where the students were taken to, but often the kidnappers keep victims in the forest until they receive a ransom. Nigeria’s military has been fighting armed groups like Boko Haram in the northeast, leaving the kidnapping gangs to spread around.
