NIGERIA — More Than 100 Students Kidnapped from Baptist High School
Radical Fulani Muslims attacked a Christian high school in Nigeria, kidnapping more than 100 students.
Radical Fulani Muslims attacked Bethel Baptist High School in Nigeria's northern state of Kaduna on July 5, 2021.
The attackers rode in on motorbikes, shooting wildly into the air as they broke through the fence surrounding the school. The exact number of those kidnapped is uncertain, as some were able to escape in the attack. The Bethel Baptist Church pastor’s son was among the students who narrowly escaped. “Right now I’m speechless,” the pastor said. “The school is an educational ministry of my church. This is a very, very sad situation for us.” Please pray for the safe return of all the students who are still missing, and pray that their kidnappers will be brought to justice.
Pray also that the parents whose children were kidnapped will be comforted.
