      At least 1,000 children in Nigeria abducted by militant group since 2013: UNICEF

      UNITED NATIONS, April 13 (Xinhua) -- At least 1,000 children have been abducted by the Boko Haram insurgent group in northeastern Nigeria since 2013 amid repeated attacks on schools, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said Friday.

      Since the conflict started in northeastern Nigeria nearly nine years ago, at least 2,295 teachers have been killed and more than 1,400 schools have been destroyed, UNICEF said, adding that most of these schools have not reopened "because of extensive damage or ongoing insecurity."

      The issue of child abduction drew renewed attention when 276 girls were taken from a school in the town of Chibok in 2014.

      Four years on from this tragic incident, more than 100 girls have yet to be returned to their families, said UNICEF.

      The recent attack on a school in Dapchi, in which five girls lost their lives is just the latest indication that "there are few safe spaces left for children in the northeast."

      "These repeated attacks against children in schools are unconscionable," said UNICEF Representative in Nigeria Mohamed Malick Fall. "Children have the right to education and protection, and the classroom must be a place where they are safe from harm."

      Since the current insurgency started in 2009, Boko Haram has killed tens of thousands and displaced 2.3 million from their homes and was ranked as the world's deadliest terror group by the Global Terrorism Index in 2015.

      UNICEF pledged that it will stand with Nigerian authorities, who have made a commitment to make schools safer by protecting educational facilities from violence and military use during armed conflict.
