.....the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Ecclesiastes 9:3
"The second and largest mass abduction of school-aged children in Nigeria's history has the country's political leadership and law enforcement reeling.
330 boys were forcibly taken from the grounds of their school on Friday night in the northern state of Katsina in Nigeria. The jihadist group Boko Haram is claiming responsibility. The reason given: "un-Islamic practices."
A video of one of the captives was released, asking in various languages for help. In the background, hundreds of boys are seen crying out in support of the message.
Samuel Ortom, governor of neighboring state Benue, said that if hundreds of students could be abducted in Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, no place is safe. Ortom immediately announced the closure of boarding schools in his state." CM
