US Lawmaker Slams Nigerian Government Over Schoolchildren's Security Failures

A US lawmaker strongly criticizes the Nigerian government for its failure to protect schoolchildren from jihadist criminals, particularly after the abduction of 25 schoolgirls from a secondary school in Kebbi State. The gunmen heavily armed invaded the school, resulting in the death of the school's vice principal, Hassan Makuku, and injuries to the security guard, Ali Shehu.

This incident has heightened anxiety in the region, with schools becoming frequent targets for terrorist and criminal gangs.
