Pupils absent from school after 110 girls seized by Boko Haram extremists in Nigeria

Pupils are staying away from a school in northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram extremists seized 110 girls in a raid a week ago.

The Government Girls Science and Technical College in Dapchi in Yobe state had been closed following an attack which reminded many of Boko Haram's kidnapping of 276 girls from a boarding school in Chibok in 2014.
