00:00If it is continuing to happen, what is really being done about it when it comes to the Nigerian government?
00:06And kind of, where does it go if this is just a kind of regular occurrence?
00:12Are schoolchildren constantly at risk?
00:16And why is it happening, Felicity? Presumably ransom money?
00:20Yeah, ransom money is a big reason that they can ask for the extortionate sums of money,
00:27and quite often they're paid because, you know, it's children who are at risk.
00:31But also, you know, it gets attention, maybe slightly less so now,
00:35but it's still, it's such an attention-grabbing horrific crime that, you know,
00:39they know that they're easily going to get attention.
00:41It's also happening because, you know, the Nigerian security forces,
00:48they were criticised in 2014, and it's kind of an ongoing thing of, like, being too slow to respond.
