Boko Haram militants abducted over 200 schoolgirls last night in the city of Chibok in Borno state after storming and robbing their school, killing two soldiers, and burning 170 homes. Visiting the site of yesterday’s bombing in an Abuja suburb, President Jonathan said that “the issue of Boko Haram is temporary.” Lawmakers and workers evacuated the National Assembly due to a bomb scare.
