25 School Girls: We Know That The Attack Occurred In A Christian Enclave In Northern Nigeria-Moore

According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, U.S. Congressman Riley M. Moore has reacted to the deadly assault carried out at Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School in Maga, located in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The incident, which unfolded in the early hours of Monday, resulted in the killing of the school’s Vice Principal and the abduction of several female students. Authorities say full details are still being compiled as the situation continues to develop.

Witness accounts indicate that the attackers, described as heavily armed terrorists, entered the school compound while both staff and students were preparing for morning activities. The armed men reportedly moved swiftly through the grounds, triggering widespread panic and forcing many individuals to flee for safety.

Security operatives have launched an investigation into the assault, but the exact tally of missing students is still being updated as families submit additional information. State officials noted that the gunmen appeared to have singled out certain sections of the school, which has complicated efforts to immediately verify the number of abducted girls.

The surrounding community remains deeply shaken as parents, teachers, and residents struggle to process the killing and mass kidnapping. Emergency teams and law enforcement personnel have been deployed to support affected families and maintain order.

Rep. Moore expressed strong concern about the location of the attack, stressing that the strike occurred within a Christian-majority settlement in Northern Nigeria. His comments focused on the recurring dangers faced by communities in areas that have endured repeated bouts of violence.

He reaffirmed his long-standing warning that targeted attacks on specific groups in the region demand more decisive responses. Moore noted that tragedies of this kind heighten anxiety among families who already grapple with insecurity on a daily basis. He urged for coordinated actions to protect schoolchildren and educators, particularly in isolated parts of the country.

Moore further pointed out that continuous attacks on schools severely disrupt education, leaving students at a significant disadvantage. He called for a broad and sustained plan to safeguard learning centers across vulnerable regions, emphasizing that ensuring the safety of children must remain central to national and international security discussions.

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.”
