Nigeria Declares Emergency After Mass Abductions, Russia Offers Support| Firstpost Africa| N18G

Nigeria is facing a severe security crisis, marked by mass kidnappings, prompting President Bola Tinubu to declare a nationwide emergency. He announced measures including recruiting 20,000 additional police officers, redeploying VIP guards to frontline duties, and utilising National Youth Service Corps camps for training. Recent abductions include 25 girls from Kebbi, 64 individuals in Zamfara, 38 worshippers in Kwara, and over 300 from a Catholic school in Niger. Amidst this turmoil, Russia has offered assistance in Nigeria's counter-terrorism efforts, coinciding with U.S. President Trump's criticism of Nigeria's response to ongoing terrorist acts against Christians.
