It’s Regional Director for West and Central Africa, Marie-Pierre Poirier, expressed solidarity with the families of the students and their communities.

Poitier declared that the violence was a “grim reminder” that abductions of children and widespread grave violations of children’s rights continue to take place in the northern part of Nigeria.

“Children should feel safe at home, in schools and in their playgrounds at all times.

“We stand with the families of the missing children and the community affected by this horrifying event,” she added.
