Gunmen on Sunday kidnapped scores of children from an Islamic seminary in central Nigeria's Niger state, police and residents said. Some 200 children were at the school at the time of the attack, the Niger state government said on Twitter, adding that "an unconfirmed number" were taken. The abduction came a day after 14 students from a university in northwestern Nigeria were freed after 40 days in captivity. spb/pvh/gd
