Boko Haram Strikes Mora, Abducts School Principal Overnight

The town of Mora, the capital of the Mayo-Sava Divisin in the Far North Region, is once again caught in a troubling spiral of insecurity.

Around midnight on January 26, Mr. Amadou Amvilace, principal of the Mora Technical High School, was abducted from his home by heavily armed individuals, suspected to be Boko Haram fighters.

According to consistent witness accounts, the attackers operated with alarming boldness, forcing their way into the compound before extracting him through his bedroom window and disappearing into the night.

The swift, methodical operation reinforces the impression of a well-practiced modus operandi.

This kidnapping comes amid a rapidly deteriorating security situation, marked by a worrying resurgence of Boko Haram elements in several parts of Mayo-Sava.

Residents are living in fear, while administrative and educational officials are becoming increasingly exposed targets.

No claim of responsibility had been recorded at the time of this report. Defense and security forces have been alerted, and search operations are reportedly underway to locate the victim and identify the perpetrators of this serious act.
