Children should feel safe at school. But, in parts of Nigeria, parents are getting anxious.

Just last week, dozens of students and staff were kidnapped by gunmen from their boarding school in Kagara, Niger state.

This abduction was just the latest in a series of similar incidents that have made the headlines in recent years.
