Gunmen launched a raid on a school in Northeast Nigeria during exam sessions. Authorities report that at least 37 students remain in captivity, and police note that over 30 people have disappeared. Officials have not yet identified the armed group behind the assault.
In a separate event, 269 Nigerians returned home from South Africa ahead of a protest deadline. Meanwhile, an IMF official pointed out that hidden government spending in Nigeria equals about 2% of GDP. These developments show that Nigeria faces serious challenges with security and fiscal management.
