According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Rep Riley M. Moore, member of the United States Congress, has reacted to the tragic incident that occurred on Monday at Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The attack, which happened in the early hours of the day, left the Vice Principal dead and several students abducted, with full details of the incident still emerging.
The attack was carried out by armed terrorists who stormed the school while students and staff were preparing for the day’s activities.
According to officials, the gunmen moved quickly through the premises, causing panic among those present and forcing many to run for safety.
Security agencies have since begun investigations, but the exact number of students kidnapped continues to be reviewed as families provide updated information.
Authorities in the state confirmed that the assailants targeted specific areas within the school, contributing to the difficulty in gathering immediate and accurate figures.
The community has been left in shock as parents and residents struggle to come to terms with the killing of the Vice Principal and the abduction of the schoolgirls.
Emergency response teams and security operatives have been deployed to support the affected families.
Rep Moore expressed concern over the location of the attack, stating that the incident took place in a predominantly Christian community in Northern Nigeria.
His reaction focused on the vulnerability of communities that have experienced repeated acts of violence in recent years.
He emphasized the need for urgent attention to regions where residents face increased risks due to ongoing insecurity.
The lawmaker reiterated his long-held position that targeted violence against certain groups in the region requires stronger intervention.
He stressed that attacks of this nature deepen fears among families who already face daily uncertainty, and he urged for coordinated efforts to prevent further harm to schoolchildren and educators in remote communities.
Moore also highlighted the impact of recurring violence on education, noting that schools in affected areas face disruptions that place students at greater disadvantage.
He called for comprehensive measures to secure learning environments across the region, adding that the safety of children should remain a priority in national and international discussions on security.
As security agencies continue to gather accurate information and work toward the safe recovery of the abducted students, the reaction from Moore underscores renewed calls for stronger response strategies.
The incident, which remains under investigation, has once again brought attention to the challenges faced by communities in regions affected by persistent insecurity.
He said: “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.
