Amnesty International Slams FG Over School Attacks in Nigeria

Amnesty International has condemned the Nigerian authorities for failing to protect schoolchildren amid a wave of abductions in the North, including the recent kidnapping of 315 students and staff from St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Niger State. Country Director Isa Sanusi stated that the attacks underscore persistent security gaps and repeated government failures to learn from past incidents. Sanusi noted that over 230 Northern children are currently in captivity, while hundreds of schools in states like Katsina and Plateau remain closed due to attacks. He warned that many children, especially girls, have been forced out of school or married off for safety. Amnesty International accused authorities of neglect and called for urgent investigations into the attacks—potentially as war crimes or crimes against humanity—and for perpetrators to be prosecuted in fair trials. The group insists the right to […]

Under Siege: 2,496 Students Abducted in 92 School Attacks Since Chibok

New data reveals 2,496 students abducted in 92 school attacks across Nigeria since the Chibok tragedy in 2014. Recent mass kidnappings in Niger and Kebbi states have reignited concerns about student safety, with abductions now a source of ransom income for criminal groups and a cause for widespread fear and trauma. Analysis shows nearly 70 attacks on schools from 2014–2022, with over 1,680 students taken by the end of that period. An additional 22 attacks and 816 students kidnapped occurred from January 2023 to November 2025. Most incidents are concentrated in the North, especially in states like Kaduna, Zamfara, Niger, and Kebbi. Experts warn many cases go unreported, so actual abduction numbers could be higher. The Chibok abduction marked a turning point—many girls are still missing, and mass abductions have since escalated with recurring ransom demands. More than one million […]

Catholic Archbishop Martins to Tinubu: Act Fast, Nigeria Descending Into Chaos

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has publicly urged President Tinubu to respond decisively to the surge in terrorist attacks and insecurity across Nigeria, warning the country is descending into chaos. Referencing recent school kidnappings and the killing of Army General Muhammad Uba, Archbishop Martins said these crises echo the trauma of the 2014 Chibok abductions and show that security guarantees are lacking. Martins highlighted attacks on school staff—Vice Principal Hassan Yakubu Makuku and the Chief Security Officer at Eruku, Kwara—and criticized policy gaps that allowed terrorists to kill security personnel and abduct dozens of schoolgirls. He called for urgent identification and prosecution of terrorists and their sponsors, stressing that every citizen is at risk given the brazen level of violence. Martins expressed hope for the safe return of schoolchildren, called for collective prayer and action, and demanded […]

WHO To Vaccinate 40,000 Children in Gaza Amid Ceasefire

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced its plan to vaccinate over 40,000 children in Gaza as a ceasefire allows intensified humanitarian operations. In phase one of the campaign, more than 10,000 children under age three were vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, polio, rotavirus, and pneumonia. Phase one, which started November 9, is being extended; phases two and three are expected in December and January, jointly run with UNICEF, UNRWA, and Gaza authorities. WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said the truce enables expanded health services and vital reconstruction for Gaza’s devastated health system. The UN Security Council recently endorsed the ceasefire plan, brokered by US President Donald Trump, following two years of hostilities that claimed thousands of lives, with over half the deaths in Gaza reported as women and minors.

Pfizer, Tris Pharma Pay $41.5m in Texas ADHD Drug Settlement

Pfizer and Tris Pharma reached a $41.5 million settlement with Texas after being accused of falsifying quality control tests for Quillivant XR, an ADHD medication, and defrauding the state’s Medicaid program. The suit claimed that between 2012 and 2018, tests showed Quillivant XR sometimes failed to dissolve in the body properly, resulting in ineffective treatment for children. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the companies provided adulterated drugs and changed test results to secure Medicaid reimbursements. Both Pfizer and Tris Pharma deny any wrongdoing, stating there was no impact on patient safety and still stand by Quillivant’s quality. Whistleblower Tarik Ahmed, Tris Pharma’s technology chief, made the initial complaint that led to the lawsuit. Pfizer stopped marketing Quillivant XR in 2018 after Tris Pharma purchased the product.

UNICEF, Borno to Train 1,033 Conflict-Affected Children

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in partnership with the Borno State Government, has launched a vocational training program for 1,033 children affected by the armed conflict in the Northeast. The initiative, launched in Maiduguri, aims to equip the children, including 466 girls, with practical skills to rebuild their lives. They will receive training in tailoring, ICT, car mechanics, shoemaking, and carpentry at centers across the state. A UNICEF representative stated that the prolonged insurgency has denied many children the chance to learn skills or pursue their dreams. The program is designed to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" by combining vocational training with life skills and psychosocial support. The Borno State Commissioner for Education commended UNICEF for the initiative, highlighting its importance for children who were previously abducted and forced into roles by insurgents.

 WHO Warns of ‘Alarming’ Rise in Child Vaping Globally

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a stark warning about an "alarming" new wave of nicotine addiction, driven by a surge in children using e-cigarettes. In its first global estimate, the WHO found that more than 100 million people now vape. This includes at least 15 million children between the ages of 13 and 15. Data shows that in countries with available information, children are, on average, nine times more likely to vape than adults. The UN health agency accused the industry of aggressively targeting young people by marketing vapes as less harmful, while actually hooking a new generation on nicotine. This trend risks undermining decades of progress in reducing tobacco use. While the number of global tobacco users has dropped, the WHO urged governments to act faster to implement strong tobacco control policies and protect children from the […]

A Child’s Cry: Nigeria’s Malnutrition Crisis Demands Urgent Action

On a sweltering afternoon in Katsina, Fatima cradles her two-year-old son, Musa, in a crowded therapeutic feeding centre. His frail body, barely clinging to life, tells a story that words cannot. Musa is one of millions of Nigerian children facing the brutal reality of severe acute malnutrition—a condition that makes a child 9–12 times more likely to die than if they were well nourished. But Musa is also a symbol of hope. With timely treatment, he is slowly recovering. His story reminds us that malnutrition is not a death sentence—it is a preventable tragedy. A Nation at Breaking Point According to the March 2025 Cadre Harmonisé food security survey, nearly 31 million Nigerians across 26 states and the FCT face acute food insecurity. Extrapolated nationwide, this number could reach 40 million people—a population larger than many countries. Nigeria now bears […]
