Gunmen have kidnapped hundreds of students and teachers from two schools in Nigeria in the worst case of abductions since more than 270 girls from Chibok town were snatched from their school in 2014.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for this or a previous abduction, as authorities deploy rescue squads.
The kidnapping comes amid a surge of attacks by armed groups in the African nation.
