The United Nations says it is concerned about recurring terrorists attacks on schools in Nigeria.

UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric stated this in a response to the Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the recent coordinated attacks on multiple schools in the country.

NAN reports that armed groups attacked schools in Oyo State over the weekend during which dozens of schoolchildren and their teachers were reportedly abducted.

Two teachers were also reportedly killed by the suspected terrorist groups.
