Amnesty International has raised alarm over the rising attacks on schools in Nigeria, warning that such acts could amount to crimes against humanity. The human rights organization condemned the violence targeting children, teachers, and school staff, stressing the urgent need for government action.

The group noted that abductions, killings, and destruction of school properties not only threaten education but also violate fundamental human rights. Amnesty International called on authorities to investigate these incidents and hold perpetrators accountable under international law.

Officials and rights advocates have been urged to implement stronger measures to protect schools and ensure the safety of students across affected regions. Amnesty emphasized that continued attacks on educational institutions risk normalizing violence and disrupting communities.

The organization also appealed to the global community to support efforts in securing schools, providing humanitarian aid, and strengthening security frameworks to prevent further atrocities. Protecting education, they said, is essential for long-term peace and development in Nigeria.
