Riley Moore, a United States lawmaker, on Tuesday reacted to the abduction of schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Maga, in the Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Moore, through a post shared on X handle on Tuesday, condemned the incident and called for prayers for the victims.
“Please join me in praying for the 25 girls who have been kidnapped and for the repose of the soul of their vice principal, who was killed,” he wrote.
While commenting further on the attack, Moore added: “While we don’t have all the details on this horrific attack, we know that the attack occurred in a Christian enclave in Northern Nigeria.”

The attack occurred in the early hours of Monday when heavily armed bandits stormed the school, killing the vice principal, injuring members of staff and abducting 25 students.
