Nigerian police arrest three men in connection with July kidnapping of schoolchildren

EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

Nigerian security forces have arrested three men accused of taking part in a mass abduction at Bethel Baptist High School in July. Gunmen kidnapped 121 students who were asleep in their dorm rooms. The attack took place just outside the city of Kaduna in the north-west of the country. One hundred teens have since managed to escape or were freed, but twenty-one are still unaccounted for.

Also on the show: Rwanda's President Paul Kagame visits troops stationed in Mozambique. They were dispatched to help clamp out jihadism in the country’s northern regions.

And African leaders blast vaccine-hoarding nations at the UN General Assembly, warning that the huge disparity in access will only prolong the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide.
