Lawan Zanna, a father from Chibok village in northeastern Nigeria, continues to pray for his daughter Aisha, who was among the 276 schoolgirls abducted by Islamic extremists a decade ago. The 2014 Chibok kidnapping, which shocked the world and led to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, remains a haunting memory for Zanna and many others.
Since the Chibok incident, over 1,400 students have been kidnapped in Nigeria, with most being released after ransom payments or government-backed deals. Unfortunately, the perpetrators often escape justice, raising concerns about the safety and security of schools in the country.
