Nigerian Schoolgirls Remain Missing After Abduction by Boko Haram

HeadlineApr 28, 2014

In Nigeria, about 200 girls remain missing nearly two weeks after they were kidnapped from their boarding school. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram is suspected of abducting about 230 schoolgirls during a night raid in the northeastern town of Chibok on April 15. Some have managed to escape. The Nigerian military initially reported most of the girls had been freed, but that statement was soon retracted.
