Kidnapped Students Still Missing, Release International Prayer Alert
"Please pray for students still believed to be missing after the raid by Islamic extremists on a boarding school in Borno state last week.
"Boko Haram is believed to have been behind the raid on the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, a Christian enclave in the north-eastern state.
"The girls were asleep in their dormitories when the raid took place late on the Monday. Their kidnappers engaged in a long-running gun battle with soldiers guarding the school before overwhelming them and herding the girls on to trucks. They also set fire to the school and other properties in Chibok in the five-hour raid."
