Un père raconte comment son fils a échappé à un enlèvement dans une école au Nigeria
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, the father of a six-year-old child who managed to escape an attempted kidnapping at a school in Nigeria recounts their reunion.
"When I saw him," said Lucas, whose name we have changed to protect his identity, "I was so happy."
"I called him by name, he turned around and ran towards me. I took him in my arms and hugged him."
Lucas said his son told him that the students at St. Mary's Catholic boarding school in Niger State, northern Nigeria, were asleep when they were woken up by the noise of the kidnappers.
The kidnappers broke the windows, shattered the glass, and forced them, at gunpoint, to open the door while they were half asleep.
While some children climbed the barbed wire fence surrounding the school and ran away, her son, too small to get over the barrier, hid.
Although Lucas has been reunited with one of his sons, two of his older sons are still missing.
303 students and 12 teachers were taken from the school in the town of Papiri, although authorities say at least 50 children later escaped.
