Nigerian activists and civil society campaigners protested in the capital, Abuja, on Thursday demanding the rescue of pupils and teachers abducted from schools in Oyo State.
They want urgent government action to secure the release of those kidnapped from three schools in the state and the killing of a teacher during an attack last month.
The protest came as police said gunmen had abducted at least seven students from a polytechnic in the north-western Zamfara State.
There is growing outrage over recurring abductions targeting educational institutions across the country.
“Enough is enough. Enough of kidnapping, enough of killing. They are killing our children like chicken. We are not animals,” said activist Arije Christy Alao.
