The first incident of students’ mass abduction occurred in 2014 when over 200 students of Government Girls Secondary School Chibok were kidnapped by insurgents. Parents in rural areas that were forced to enroll children into schools are using students’ abduction as excuse for preventing them from going. xIncrease in students’ kidnappings has become a big threat to the future of students, because illiterates are considered like a body without a life. Kidnappers’ maltreatment to students in captivities makes them no longer interested in studies after gaining freedom. To end kidnappings in its entirety, governments should employ or enroll kidnappers that laid their weapons into skills.
