Gunmen launched a raid on a school in Northeast Nigeria during exam sessions. Authorities report that at least 37 students are still held, and police note that over 30 people are missing. Officials have not yet identified the armed group responsible for the attack.
In a separate event, a group of Nigerians came back from South Africa ahead of a protest deadline. Meanwhile, an IMF official highlighted that hidden government spending in Nigeria equals about 2% of GDP. These developments show that Nigeria faces serious challenges with security and fiscal management.
