A church attack in Nigeria’s Kwara State left two people dead and several worshippers, including a pastor, kidnapped after gunmen opened fire during an evening service. The incident came a day after 25 schoolgirls were abducted in Kebbi State, where armed men killed a vice-principal and took students into the forest. Reports show 857 people were abducted in Nigeria in the first half of 2025. Multiple regions face security threats from jihadist insurgents, armed gangs and communal clashes. The violence has drawn international attention, including warnings from US officials. Nigeria has increased security deployments as investigations into the incident continue.
