MORE than 80 children have been abducted following a wave of militant attacks on schools across Nigeria over the past week, local officials and a rights group said on Sunday.

The attackers targeted a primary school in the conflict-battered state of Borno, in Nigeria’s north-eastern corner, in the Askira Uba and Chibok areas, sometime between Wednesday and Thursday, where militants kidnapped 42 children.
