In a space of just five months, over a hundred students have been captured in different schools across Kaduna State as the state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has persevered on his no-ransom-payment protocol.

The breach of the grounds of the Nigerian Defense Academy displays just how insecure Nigeria has become.
