Boko Haram Islamist Terrorist Group he claimed the kidnapping of hundreds of students following an armed attack on a school in Nigeria, in the northwestern state of Katsina, on December 11. Some 300 students are missing and have disappeared after gunmen on motorcycles stormed the Government Science School in Kankara on Friday night.

The complaint for the kidnapping was made by the leader of the terrorist group Abubakar Shekau who said: “Our brothers are behind the kidnapping of Katsina.” The mass kidnapping took place in the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, who condemned the attack and ordered an increase in school security, with the closure of schools in Katsina state.

On November 28, a group of Boko Haram militiamen killed at least 110 people in an attack on an agricultural area near the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri. The people killed were farmers from the Nigerian state of Sokoto, 1,000 kilometers from Maiduguri, who came to work in the rice fields. Also on that occasion the attack was carried out by “armed men on motorcycles”, according to Edward Kallon, the coordinator of UN activities in Nigeria.
