Gunmen in northwest Nigeria kidnapped about 30 students from a forestry college near a military academy, three students said, in the fourth mass school abduction since December. The Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation sits on the outskirts of Kaduna city, capital of Kaduna state, in a region roamed by armed gangs, who often travel on motorcycles. Kaduna state’s security commissioner, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed the overnight attack on Friday but did not say how many students had been taken.
