Gunmen staged an attack on a school in Northeast Nigeria during exam sessions. Authorities report that at least 37 students are still held, and police note that over 30 people have disappeared. Officials have not yet identified the armed group behind the assault.
In a separate event, a group of Nigerians came back from South Africa ahead of a protest deadline. Meanwhile, an IMF official pointed out that hidden government spending in Nigeria amounts to about 2% of GDP. These developments show that Nigeria faces serious issues involving security and fiscal management.
